Routhier Community Centre
The museum's collection includes over 13,000 artifacts. Very few of the artifacts owned by the Billings Estate National Historic Site are on display at any given time. The Billings Estate Artifact Collection storage facility, which is located at the Routhier Community Centre (172 Guigues St.) includes items that have never been on exhibit, and is used by collections staff to preserve artifacts for safe keeping. The storage facility was included amongst other architecturally interesting and historically significant buildings in Doors Open Ottawa, held June 2 and 3, 2012.
