Summary:Ottawa Mayor Jim Durrell says the Aberdeen Pavilion in Lansdowne Park should be dismantled and stored until money can be found to renovate the crumbling, 89-year-old heritage building. The pavilion, known as the Cattle Castle, could eventually be moved to a new location such as the Experimental Farm, Durrell said this morning. "That would be the logical place for it." The pavilion, built in 1898, is the earliest surviving example of a late Victorian large-scale exhibition hall. It's been designated as heritage by Ottawa and was also recognized in 1983 as a building of national, historic and architectural significance by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada.
