- Item consists of a fire insurance plan of the Dominion Bridge Company Burnaby Plant located on the east side of Boundary Road near Lougheed Highway. The plan is in two sheets mounted on a backing board. The buildings are located and colour coded. The plan includes profiles of the buildings. Title on plan reads "DOMINION BRIDGE COMPANY, LIMITED / "BURNABY PLANT" / Burnaby, B.C.". The site plan was surveyed by C. L. Schwaab Jr.
- History
- Dominion Bridge Company was a major enterprise in Burnaby operating from the 1930 until the mid 1970s. Dominion Bridge constructed steel structures ranging from portions of the Golden Gate and Lions Gate Bridges to holding tanks for pulp mills. Beginning in the mid-1970s, unused areas of the site were used for filming on a temporary basis and in 1987 the site was established as a dedicated studio production facility named Bridge Studios.

- Scope and Content
- Photograph of fourteen unidentified men in suits standing behind a gun put up on a wooden pedestal, with a sign that reads, "This Gun is the First Mark VIII Anti-Aircraft Naval Gun Produced Outside England/ Athorities acknowledge this is one of the most difficult guns to make/ Initial production at this time is an achievement for the men and women of this plant who have set up the first milestone in gun armament in Western Canada/ Our task now is to speed production and built into these guns quality and accuracy that we may be proud of their performance." The company that produced this gun is believed to be the Dominion Bridge Company, at its Western Canada branch (possibly Burnaby). Plywood sheets propped up behind the men help to prevent the location from being identified.
