Description :	Two patterned tin ceiling tiles. Cream coloured paint is peeling on one tile. The second tile is devoid of its paint.
Commentaires :	The building was built at 150 Water Street, now known as Main Street. It started out as W. J. Kent & Company in 1884. In 1915 a fire gutted the store. During the renovations, a third floor was added making it one of the largest department stores in Eastern Canada. W. J. Kent & Company Limited was demolished in 1990 due to the need of very costly major renovations. In December, 2009, the Kent property was sold to the City of Bathurst. The tiles were obtained by Mayor Stephen Brunet of Bathurst prior to the demolition of the building.
Fonctions :	These tiles are from the ceiling on the main floor of the W.J. Kent & Company store that was on Main Street in Bathurst, New Brunswick .
