The #CapeBreton quarry was opened in 1933 by the Atlantic Gypsum Mining Company and taken over in 1937 by @NationalGypsum when it bought AGMC. National Gypsum continued to operate the Dingwall quarry until 1955.

Dingwall produced about 10 million tons of gypsum in its 22 years of operation.
National Gypsum closed the #Dingwall quarry in 1955 because it was opening the world’s largest surface gypsum mine in #Milford, East Hants.

The #Halifax Armoury was built from 1895-99 of red sandstone, part of a federal government initiative in the late 1800s to build militia practice, training and recruitment centres in cities across Canada.

Soldiers would amalgamate at the Armoury (sometimes called Armouries) before departing by ship for the Boer War and both World Wars. The Armoury has served as home to the Princess Louise Fusiliers and the Halifax Rifles of the Royal Canadian Armoured Corps...
