Here’s a bit more about Hintonburg & Mechanicsville: A Narrative History:

Hintonburg and Mechanicsville: A Narrative History is an informative and affectionate look at the little-known history of two bilingual Ottawa neighbourhoods, both which began as early industrial and streetcar suburbs located within sight of Parliament Hill. Based on archival research, personal interviews, and secondary sources, this book is the first attempt to tell the story of this complex, dynamic and multicultural area.
