Description du lieu patrimonial
The Edam Café is a Municipal Heritage Property comprising a large commercial lot located on East Railway Avenue in the Village of Edam. The property features a two-storey, wood-frame building.
Valeur patrimoniale
The Edam Café is valued for its association with the foundation and development of Edam. The café was built in 1915, a few years after the railroad arrived and the village was incorporated. Operated by Chinese immigrant Charlie Chan, the business consisted of a café, ice cream parlor and hotel. The café was one of Edam’s main restaurants and major feature of the village's Main Street until closing in 1986. In 2003 the building was moved from its original site on Main Street to the museum adjacent to the railroad.
To commemorate the community’s origin as the regional hub of an agriculture area, buildings for the area are relocated to the site and restored to their original appearance. The café forms part of the museum’s proposed “heritage village.” The buildings are used as educational and cultural resources for enjoyment and to increase awareness of the community’s history.
