"How to Save a Farm: Central Experimental Farm Designated a National Historic Site."

The Booth Barn is protected by Part 1V of The Ontario Heritage Act. During the1990's plans were in motion to demolish the Booth Barn; Building #26 on Winding Lane and 38 other Experimental Farm buildings. Building #26 is located near the Observatory Campus and Maple Drive.

"Ottawa's heritage community hails the recent announcement that the Central Experimental Farm has been designated as a National Historic Site by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada, a move that will go a long way toward protecting the buildings now slated for demolition, and slow down any plans to sell off valuable land for real estate development." (by Jean Palmer, Heritage Ottawa-Winter 1998, Volume 25, No. 1.)
