Thread-topic: [CBQ] 2026 Spring Meet
Those ice storage silos have been there since the 1920s. They served both the Sanderson Ice Cream company which is the brick building that Culligan occupies and the salt was used by the CB&Q when they had passenger service that stopped in Ottawa until the mid-1950s.

There was an Icehouse just about 12 feet to the west of the salt silos. We used to buy 25# blocks from it for summer parties and special events. The Icehouse was wonderful as it had foot thick wooden walls and saw dust on the floor and between and on top of the blocks of ice.

The Ice Silos have been painted one of two shades of blue since the early 1960s IIRC.

Speaking of walking through Ottawa - does anyone know what these two wooden silos/tanks are?  They are at the north east side of the station's parking lot.  In the Google street view pic there is a Culligan logo. 
Thanks,
Mike Offerman
