Description
Français : La Tour avant 1950 au coin des rues Monseigneur-Gauvreau et de la Baronne
« En 1846, sous l’administration du maire George-Okill Stuart, la ville de Québec recevait l’autorisation du gouvernement de la Province du Canada d’établir un réseau de distribution de gaz qui permettrait l’éclairage des rues. À cette fin, en mai 1849, la Quebec Gas Company était incorporée et l’éclairage était inauguré le premier novembre suivant. Pour emmagasiner son gaz, la compagnie dispose d’un immense réservoir situé au coin des rue Monseigneur-Gauvreau et de la Baronne. Après 60 ans d’opération, en 1909, la compagnie est absorbée par la Quebec Railway, Light, Heat and Power Company que les Québécois prendront l’habitude d’appeler le Merger. Éventuellement, le réservoir de gaz est abandonné. Au début des années 1930, il est transformé en un théâtre populaire. Sa forme ronde permet d’y aménager une scène centrale sur laquelle on présentera des combats de lutte et de boxe pour les 500 spectateurs qui peuvent y prendre place. Ce sera le Club athlétique Champlain, mieux connu sous l’appellation de La Tour. Elle sera en opération jusqu’en 1965 alors qu’elle sera détruite par un incendie. Aujourd’hui, l’endroit est désert et il a cédé la place aux piliers et aux bretelles de l’autoroute Dufferin-Montmorency. » – Société historique de Québec
