Cowley Abbott is privileged to be entrusted with a collection of artworks from The Canadian Club Brand Centre, a building with a rich history in the development of Windsor and Canadian Club whisky. The Brand Centre in Walkerville, Ontario, opened in 1894 as the headquarters of Canadian Club Whisky. The imposing red brick and terra cotta building is considered one of North America’s finest examples of Italian Renaissance architecture. The Centre formerly offered tours of the building, teaching visitors about the origins of the Canadian Club brand and its history, including its art collection. A whisky tasting often concluded the tour. Cowley Abbott is honoured to be offering this art collection linked to a significant part of Windsor’s and Canada’s history.
