J. Butler whoopened a hotel known as the “Butler House”. Soon afterconstruction of the building was complete his daughter,Lala Butler, was hit by a train after she caught her booton the nearby railway tracks. The Butlers were unable tostay in the area and moved away.That same year, George Green had purchased the buildingand from then on it was known as Green’s Hotel. Greenhad added a pool room on the lower floor.Architecturally, the building boasts ornate woodwork.Especially notable are the wooden gables at the apex of theroof and the decorative porch brackets, with medallionsand stars, surrounding the porch. The building is on theGothic Revival style seen by this decorative wood workand steep pitched gable roof.Green’s Hotel’s close proximity to the rail line made it agreat success. Visitors off the train often stayed at thehotel before continuing on their travels.Please visit my website at www.shadqadri.com to join our weekly community mailing list.If you would like to receive up-to-the-minuteinformation, I encourage you to follow me onTwitter @ShadQadri for frequent communityupdates!22 Stittsville News EMC - Thursday, May 30, 20130530.R0012126298<strong>NEWS</strong>Blood donor clinicSpecial to the NewsEMC news – A community blood donor clinic hostedby Canadian Blood Services is being held on Wednesday,June 5 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the gymnasium atHoly Spirit Catholic Church on Stittsville Main Streetin Stittsville.To book an appointment to give blood at this clinic,visit www.blood.ca or call 1-888-2DONATE (1-888-236-6283).All blood donations at community blood donor clinicsheld by Canadian Blood Services are most appreciatedbecause every minute of every day in Canada, someoneneeds blood and the only way that the blood is availablewhen needed is through the generosity and caringof blood donors who willingly attend community blooddonor clinics to donate blood.It often requires many units of blood to help just onepatient.A car accident victim, for example, can need up to50 units of blood which means 50 blood donations areneeded just to help that one patient.Leukemia patients can need as many as eight units ofblood a week as part of their treatment.Canadian Blood Services, which organizes thesecommunity blood donor clinics, is a national, not-forprofitcharitable organization that manages the bloodsupply in all provinces and territories in Canada exceptfor Quebec.A separate organization, Hema-Quebec, operates inthe province of Quebec.Canadian Blood Services organizes more than 22,000community blood donor clinics across Canada eachyear.
