Barton Myers: Seagram Museum (Waterloo, Ont.)

For the Seagram Museum, Myers used the original nineteenth-century barrel warehouse, which had held up to 6000 barrels of whiskey, as part of the exhibition space. He also used wood beams from the warehouse to clad the new structures. At the time of the construction of the Museum, the distillery was still in use by the Seagram company. Unfortunately, the museum closed in 1997 and the building has since been turned into office space.
