Here in Montreal. Early 1990's SMC Park Avenue II Plus 107 cm in the lobby of an appartment in the Plateau Mont-Royal. The sockets of the light kit were removed. Poor fan. The souvenirs shops in Old Montreal are always filled with ceiling fans. (The Old Montreal pics were taken during the insane heatwave of last week) A Westinghouse Industrial 140 cm with wood blades in one of them. This one seems to be chrome instead of brushed nickel. They were three Canarm CP's in the place along with this fan. It was hard to tell if they were CP48 or CP56. Another shop had a variety of two different type of late 1990's early 2000's glossy black Nadairs 107 cm five blade fans. Some were Desinger's Choice (flat ventless bottom plate with shell brackets) and some were these with a rounded housing. They have a 3rd pull chain which indicates that they originally included a light kit. At first I did not recognized them but now I realized that they are the model called Modern that included a melon halogen light kit. They are pretty rare in black. A 3rd shop had again many Nadair Designer's Choice 107 cm from around the late 1990's to mid 2000's but in white instead of black. In this same store there was a (1998-2001) Encon Jewel 132 cm missing one of the shades. The next pictures were taken in Montmagny, QC where we celebrated my grand-father's 80th birthday and my 22th birthday. The birthday dinner was at Hôtel L'Oiselière which has a beautiful tropical winter garden with a swimming pool. I stayed at this hotel 13 years ago in March 2000 and I'm glad to see it did not changed too much. Even the Spa neon is still the same. The winter garden has a few Canarm CP56. One of them seems to be a Banvil Bronze Line. In a little hallway that links the winter garden with the restaurant of the hotel is this Canarm CP36. I did not remembered seeing this fan in 2000. It might have been added later. On the way back to Montreal, we stopped at a Mikes restaurant in Drummondville and they were two of theses glossy black builderish fans. They really look like Canarm Grand Builders except I don't think they ever made them in black. It even has a Canarm pull chain. Someone knows?

That atrium is GORGEOUS!
Seems like a lot of apartment buildings in Canada have fans in the common areas. I've only seen this once or twice in the US.

Yes I love it too and I'm glad they did not changed it much. I don't know about other provinces or other cities I've actually only seen that in Montreal that I recall but in Montreal specifically it's pretty common. They are always found in older buildings that were built before the 1980's. My favorite fan for this install is a 1990's SMC Laguna 90 cm with a mushroom light kit. There's an apartment lobby in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough that have a large brass ornate six blade fan.

I love that atrium as well, one of the nicest looking places I've seen with all that light coming in there.
Around here there are a lot of older apartments with fans near the entryways, unfortunately many have been replaced over the years. In a neighborhood in Moorhead (actually very close to that club you were at, Dan, the place with the fans out back that I grabbed), there are a bunch of apartment buildings with old fans still installed. A couple Evergo emperors can be seen from the street and I'm sure there are other fans as well.
Another great example is the condo complex the previous owners of my current house moved into (we kept in touch and brought them apples from our apple tree). It's a 2000s-era complex, very new, but on each floor there is a main area in the center of the building that has a Craftmade hugger. From there you can go to three different short wings of the building. Midway down each of the three halls there is a junction where the doors to all four units in the given wing are positioned, and there is another hugger here right outside everyone's door. So that's four fans per floor, and strangely they all have light kits that are never on and not needed in the least bit. Wish I could get pics of that now, but the lady recently passed away and her husband moved to a retirement community so I can't get back into the building.

A Hunter Westover (Four Seasons fan) 132 cm taken at Canadian Tire on the rack. Since they renovated this store about three years ago they had this model on their display always spinning very slowly with the light on. It's one of theses models with a heater in the light kit. I can even hear the heater on which explains why it spins so slow. Apparently theses spins at a slow low when the heater is on. A very bad shot of a brown Banvil Silver Line 140 cm in the auto garage at this same Canadian Tire. I rarely see brown Silver Line. It's cool that they put theses fans when they renovated the place. The shopping store section have Canarm CP36. From an outing in Old Montreal yesterday I saw another model of four metal blade spinner which I had never seen before. Not around here at least. I though it was a myth when someone once message me via Kijiji saying that they had a large brown fan with four metal blades with a fake wood finish and that it was made in Japan. Apparently they are real around here. Not one but two of them in this souvenir shop in Vieux-Montréal (Old Montreal). I'm guessing they are Sanyos. They definitely look like to be made by Sanyo. Unlike the Daytons, they don't have the little center piece in the middle with a pull chain coming down. When I saw them from far I thought at first they would be some brown four straight metal blade 4 Seasons like a local bank used to have. I was very surprised to see them. They are the first Japanese fans I see in person. Fan no. 1 Fan no. 2 A special for Cole. I saw a clothing store in Old Montreal with at least two white Casablanca Aero in it. Next time I go there I will try to get pictures. I went to Le Vieux Dublin, an Irish pub in downtown. They used to have three late 1980's verde Casablanca Panama. I was very disappointed to see that they replaced them with theses Hampton Bay Antigua 140 cm and the bronze version, which does not good like the brass version. They put back two fans instead of three. The blades were already sagging a lot almost touching the edge of the light kit. They were on low. A picture taken in March 2011 when they still had the Casablancas. One of them doesn't have blades. www.monnuage.fr/photos/point-d-interet/101317/434396

Never knew those heater fans went slower with the heater on. Very interesting.
Wow those Sanyo-type things are really cool! The round bottom is intriguing to say the very least.
Shame they replaced those Panamas. I see they left the old canopy there lol. It does make sense they only put two back with that tv there, you'd think they could have put some sort of light fixture there though instead.

They should cut the heater off.
Sanyos are very cool!
Agree about the Panamas/canopy.

According to this review from BuildReviews theses fans spins slower when the heater is activated. Wow! Good eye about the Hang-Tru canopy left there. I did not even noticed that. They probably haven't even finish replacing them. Theses verde Casablanca Panamas are to not be confused with those that were installed at Thursday's Les beaux jeudis which recently closed. They coincidentally had the exact same fans. Late 1980's verde Panamas with a single light fitter, large globes, on long downrods with antique oak blades. One of the difference is that the ones at Thursday's had none glossy antique oak blades while the ones at Vieux Dublin seemed to have high gloss antique oak blades. Thursday's had at least four of theses fans. They are the ones we recently saw on Kijiji. Has any of you ever saw this four blade Sanyo fan without the pull chain? Sanyo would really be the correct brand? Humm it's true about the very rounded bottom on this version without pull chain. The Dayton version have a more flat bottom. It's only the sides that are rounded on the Dayton version. The shape of the motor of this pull chainless version have a perfectly pearl shape motor. The canopies does not even seem to come apart in two pieces. www.vintageceilingfans.com/membergalleries/gallery/browseimages.php?do=searchresults&searchid=12082

I have seen this version before, and I'm 90% sure it is Sanyo. Either way it's the same fan.
