Original Irving service-station from 1936, restored in the Village historique Acadien in 2005

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This original Irving service-station, coming from Sackville in New-Brunswick, was acquired by the Village historique Acadien (Caraquet), in 2005 and restored to its initial condition. In 1924, Irving creates its own gas named Primrose. In 1936, he built a service-station in Sackville and Mr. Sam Roy was the architect. During the years 1935 and 1950, Samuel Sam Roy or Sam King (1895-1978) was the most popular of the acadian architects. The Irving Oil Company founded in 1927, sells gas in about 100 garages in the whole Atlantic region. Since 1936, the Irving Company counts as the most important distributor of the Ford Company in the Maritimes. In the same year, the company had consolidated six bus companies, the S.M.T. System, becoming the most important bus network in the Maritimes.
