Victoria Avenue (Hamilton, Ontario)

Victoria Avenue is a Lower City arterial road in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. It starts off as a ramp and part of a Mountain-access road, ''the Claremont Access'', on Hunter Street East in the ''Stinson'' neighbourhood. It's also a one-way thoroughfare that flows north through the ''Landsdale'' and the city's ''North End'' industrial neighbourhood past ''Burlington Street East'' where it ends at ''Pier 11''.
==History==
Victoria Avenue was named after Queen Victoria.
In 1902 Canadian Otis Elevator Company (1902–1987) was formed (August 22) on ''Victoria Avenue North''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://epe.lac-bac.gc.ca/100/205/301/ic/cdc/industrial/intro.htm )〕 For many years Hamilton, Ontario was home to the largest single elevator manufacturing facility in the world. The workers produced all kinds of elevators, escalators and later, forklifts. In 1969, the company took over the old Studebaker plant. It was a return home for Otis, which had built the facility for wartime production of anti-aircraft guns and other military equipment.

On August 18, 1948, surrounded by more than 400 employees and a battery of reporters, the first vehicle, a blue Champion four-door sedan, rolled off the Studebaker assembly line. (Studebaker Canada Ltd.) The company was located in the former Otis-Fenson military weapons factory off ''Burlington Street East'', which was built in 1941. The Indiana-based Studebaker was looking for a Canadian site and settled on Hamilton because of its steel industry. The company was known for making automotive innovations and building solid distinctive cars. 1950 was its best year but the descent was quick. By 1954, Studebaker was in the red and merging with Packard, another falling car manufacturer. In 1963, the company moved its entire car operations to Hamilton. The Canadian car side had always been a money-maker and Studebaker was looking to curtail disastrous losses. That took the plant from a single to double shift — 48 to 96 cars daily. The last car to roll off the line was a turquoise Lark cruiser on March 4, 1966.〔 Studebaker officially shuts down the next day on March 5, 1966 as its last car factory. It was terrible news for the 700 workers who had formed a true family at the company, known for its employee parties and day trips. It was a huge blow to the city, too. Studebaker was Hamilton's 10th largest employer at the time.〔

In recent years there has been talk of converting the facility on ''Victoria Avenue North'' that was one time home of the Otis Elevator Company and Studebaker plant into a Mega-Film Studio. In 2004 a group of local investors were ready to open up the $30-million facility named ''Hamilton Film Studios'' but pulled out two months after it opened up. One of the main reasons was they overestimated the appeal of the site, in that the interior had too many support beams, making the space impractical for productions requiring wide, uninterrupted expanses.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= (www.playbackonline.ca) Hamilton studio closes doors (June 2004) )
