NORTHERN HOME OF THE CANADIAN MINING HALL OF FAME
CLICK ON DOORS TO ENTER
Thanks to Kal Biro for the fantastic picture.
The magnificent doors pictured
above which reflect the light shining
on them from entrance, are affectionately known as the Denison Doors.
These doors once graced the main entrance of the administration building
of the Elliot lake Denison Mine, the world's largest uranium facility of
its time.
Graciously donated to the City of Elliot Lake, the doors are now a proud
part of
the Nuclear and Mining Museum display and are at the entrance of the Lester
Lester B Pearson Centre on Highway 108 where the Nuclear Museum is housed.
The intricate design incorporates abstract impressions of atoms,
machinery and equipment reminiscent of our mining era.
Singly each door is a masterpiece; in combination they
are a unique work of art.
