Fraser, Brace & Company

Fraser, Brace & Company was an engineering and construction company formed in 1908. It started an emergency shipyard in 1917, on the south side of the Lachine Canal, at 4000 Rue St. Patrick: the yard was later used by the Canadian Power Boat Company. The main building is still there: see it from the air on Google here.
