Windsor Airport Hanger 401 - 104-2600 Airport Rd (Listed on the Register in 2011):
Awarded for: Adaptive Re-use and Honour
Built in 1940, this large (160 ft x 115 ft/49mx35m) metal hanger was constructed with heavy wooden trusses and rigid timber columns due to the wartime shortage of steel. It is the only remaining building from the #7 Elementary Flying Training School complex, which was part of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan during World War II. In 2009, the Canadian Historical Aircraft Association (CH2A) received a $750,000 Federal grant for infrastructure restoration and maintenance to adaptively reuse the building.
