The Pointe-Claire Historical Society (PCHS) want to see Pointe Claireâs windmill restored.
The structure was severally damaged by a storm nearly two years ago which caught the eye of citizens and area visitors. The windmill was in need of significant repairs prior to the storm, but gained attention when the vanes were torn apart by the storm.Â
Constructed in 1709-1710, the windmill is located on private land owned by the Catholic Diocese of Montreal and it represents Pointe-Claire as it is the cityâs logo.
PCHS raised $30,000 to contribute to the restoration and is prepared to raise more money via fundraising. The fundraising was put on pause, as the city has yet to come to an agreement with the Diocese. âWe are happy to become involved and help with private fundraising,â spokesperson for the Pointe-Claire Historical Society Andrew Swidzinski said to
