# Brisson Castle Building Centre — Cochrane, Ontario building-supply retailer (90+ years, 2026 winding-down sale)

Brisson Castle Building & Living Centre is a long-tenured building-supply retailer at 21 5th Street in the Town of Cochrane, Northern Ontario, operating as part of the Castle Building Centres Group independent co-operative. After more than 90 years serving the Cochrane community and the wider Cochrane District, the firm has publicly announced a wind-down and is currently running a closing sale. This listing is retained on the directory as a heritage anchor — preserving the historical record of the region’s longest-tenured building-supply retailer alongside active Cochrane District anchors that homeowners can still engage today.

## Services (historical + current during wind-down)

- Lumber and engineered-wood building materials
- Windows, doors, and millwork
- Cabinets, siding, and exterior products
- Electrical supplies and fixtures
- Paint and finishing supplies
- Plumbing supplies
- Flooring and hardware
- Tool and equipment rental
- In-house delivery, estimating, and 3D kitchen design

## Service Area

Historically: Town of Cochrane, Smooth Rock Falls, Iroquois Falls, Timmins, Kapuskasing, Moonbeam, and the wider Cochrane District in Northern Ontario.

## Why it’s on home.renovation.reviews

At 90+ years of continuous operation, Brisson Castle is the directory’s longest-tenured business-supply retailer — exceeding the 1949 founding of Pat Noble Lumber & Building Supplies on Manitoulin Island (topic 666). With the retailer now winding down, the listing is preserved as a heritage anchor and as an internal-linking hub that redirects Cochrane District homeowners to the materials and service anchors still active in the region: Villeneuve Construction, Gerry’s Enterprises, and Norm’s General Contracting, as well as the nearest continuing materials supplier, Espanola Home Hardware Building Centre (topic 637).
