History / Biographical: Mendel (Emmanuel) Pearlman (b.1881 – d.1961) arrived in Canada from Russia at about the age of 16 with his father in 1898. He travelled on Lake Ontario and settled at Port Arthur (now Thunder Bay) in 1901. By 1909 he was prosperous enough to ask for the hand of Rose Mirsky (b.1888 – d.1982), daughter of Reverend Jacob Mirsky, first spiritual leader of the Jewish community in Ottawa. A year later, their first son, Lyon, was born in Ottawa (b. November 17, 1910). Mendel and Rose relocated from the Lakehead to Ottawa where children Sholom, (b. 1919), Shirley (b. 1921) and Allan (b. 1923) were born and raised along with Lyon. They lived on Cumberland Street. Mendel Pearlman was a jeweller by profession, having completed his apprenticeship in Russia. Their oldest son, Lyon Nathanial Pearlman, pursued a medical career, graduating from the University of Toronto Medical School in 1934. After interning in Ottawa hospitals, Dr. Pearlman studied pediatrics in Brooklyn and Philadelphia. In 1938, when Dr. Pearlman opened his Ottawa practice, he became the city’s first Jewish pediatrician. Dr. Pearlamn remained devoted to his practice for fifty years, and to Naomi (Perchanok) (b. 1917 - d. 2007), his wife of 53 years. They had three children, Elaine, Judy and Daniel, and numerous grandchildren. Dr. Lyon Pearlman passed away from pancreatic cancer on January 30, 1997.

Published in the Ottawa Citizen from 2/2/2007 - 2/3/2007 9. An abstract from a conference paper written by Michael Berger in 2007. "A 20th century pediatrician and the emergence of modern day pediatrics". The Proceedings of the 16th Annual History of Medicine Days, March 30th and 31st, 2007 Health Sciences Centre, Calgary, AB. Michael is the grandson of Lyon Pearlman. In 1922, in the midst of increasing infant mortality and the rampant spread of infectious disease, a small, but dedicated group of physicians founded the Canadian Pediatric Society in Toronto. Surprisingly, there was tremendous reluctance on the part of the Canadian medical establishment, comprised chiefly of academics and internists, in recognizing pediatrics as a distinct medical specialty. However, the early pediatricians were steadfast in their belief that the needs of a child were diverse, that children were susceptible to a different category of diseases and they required a continuum of care from infancy through to adolescence. They believed that only those trained to recognize these issues were qualified to nurture the growth and development of Canadian children. Dr. Lyon Pearlman, a pioneering Ottawa area pediatrician from 1938-1989, is an excellent example of an early practitioner who initiated changes at both the local and national level and helped to establish pediatrics as a specialty that integrates clinical, psychological and social issues in the management of illness. This paper will highlight some of his major contributions and place them within the context of the emergence of modern pediatrics. 10. Dr. Pearlman was fluent in Yiddish.

History / Biographical: The fire station in 2013 is owned privately by a couple named Gontran Bolduc and Rosi Kohn who are restoring it. The following is information that Gontron provided regarding his history and the building's history: "I am from a family in the Saguenay region in Québec, where artistic expression, in its many forms, e.g. painting, singing, theatre, architecture, was encouraged and considered important in daily life. While working for the Federal Government in Quebec, I was transferred to Ottawa and stayed with Industry Canada until my retirement in 2005. I was the president of the theatre company, La Catapulte and on the board of directors of La Nouvelle Scène here in Ottawa. Now, with my partner Rosi, we continue to support "artists" by hosting exhibits, fundraising efforts for Magnetic North Theatre Festival, and acquiring works of art. My interest in heritage buildings started over 20 years ago. I was sitting on a committee of Heritage Ottawa and we were talking about heritage buildings, mainly houses, lost almost every month and we were powerless in front of that. I tried to sell the idea of buying the heritage houses, to restore them and then to rent them. I failed to bring enough people to share my enthusiasm (I can't blame them, that was risky). I decided to do it myself. First, I restored Rathier House which was a mess, after that, Foisy House, then Fire Station #5 where I continue the work started by the previous owner and finally Archambault House. I did the first two restorations while living in the houses to save money to pay for the material. Later my kids started to show interest in restoration. My son became a mason interested in stone work and restoration and my daughter discovered an interest in investing in old buildings. With the support of her husband they now also invest in Lowertown. Myself, after 20 years I am happy to retire for the second time. I bought the Fire Station in 2001. The City's infrastructure work on King Edward put a hold on my work. A few years ago I was contemplating to rebuild the tower. Now I do not know anymore. To rebuild the parapet I went to the National Archives to do some research. To help me in this process, I found the original designs which I used and old pictures similar to the one published on your site. I started the research and construction in 2010 and completed it in 2012. I found an excellent wood turner west of Montreal, Eddy Noel, who made the spindles and flower medallions. All the other work was done by my son, Masonry-Marc Bolduc and in house by me and Marcel Jean, my helper and neighbour. Just an interesting aside: What I found surprising is costs related to research are not considered as valid expenses by Canada Revenue Agency. We have to be very careful in this restoration process. And some historical information on the building. The building was designed by Frederick J. Alexander and built in 1897. His drawing was used for many fire stations (no 3. no 5, no 9, no. 10?) throughout Ottawa. The difference was the tower was either on the right of the building or on the left. The artwork on the parapet was different from one building to another. I want to close this small text by saying thank you to Stuart Lazear (now retired) and Sally Coutts, Coordinator Heritage Services, both of the City of Ottawa and a special thank you to the firemen who spent their lives here. This old fire house has good vibes!"
