History of 95 Beech

Roughly 100 years ago, M.J. O'Brien purchased the land from the Canadian Pacific Railway. He built a factory to house two of his endeavours - a mica works factory (O’Brien & Fowler), and general railroad contracting (O'Brien, McDougall & O'Gorman). At the the time, the lot was located between the two railways. One to the West and one to the North, both of which went to railway stations at the current locations of Tom Brown Arena and City Centre.  

The O'Brien businesses remained in the building until 1938, when the building was taken over by Therien Co., a rug, upholstery and furniture cleaning company. 

In 1941 Mortimers purchased the building. Mortimers immediately took out a permit to add a two-storey addition on the north side, adding about 50% extra space to the original structure. Mortimers operated a printing business until the 1970s: Mortimer Limited (yearbooks, litographs, etc). 

In the 1980s, the Cream Jean Co. Ltd. manufactured and sold jeans here until the early 1990’s. 

During the 1990s there were a variety of business tenants.

The building was converted by Craig Callan Jones to condominiums in 2000.  The name of the project was The Warehouse Lofts.
