Témiscaming, fondée en 1917 par la compagnie Riordon Pulp and Paper, constitue un cas classique de ville de compagnie isolée, établie autour d'une industrie unique. Ville fermée - entièrement financée et gérée par une entreprise jusqu'en 1972 - elle est planifiée par Thomas Adams, éminent urbaniste écossais, selon les principes des cités-jardins [...] Les architectes montréalais Ross and Macdonald construisent pour la compagnie, de 1918 à 1923, toutes les maisons de la basse-ville, quelques commerces et l'usine elle-même. De 1925 à 1950, le Torontois William Lyon Somerville conçoit pour la compagnie Canadian International Paper (CIP), - devenue propriétaire de l'usine - les maisons de la haute-ville, les écoles, les églises et l'hôpital. 1, record 1, French, - ville%20de%20compagnie
