Ventilation tunnel surrounded the powder storehouse and ensured it was properly ventilated. Good ventilation was necessary to control humidity levels, since dampness could render the gunpowder unusable.

A lantern was the sole light source in the storehouse and was placed in an opening in one of the walls, near the tunnel entrance.

Levis Fort#1 National Historic site of Canada were built by the British Army on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River to protect the City of Quebec from a possible American invasion. Three Forts were built between 1865 and 1872. Fort #1 presents remarkable technological innovations for those years. This fort has been beautifully restored by the Parks Canada.

There are multimedia exhibitions on the history of Fort #1, a casemate, a powder magazine, vaulted ramparts, tunnels or a shooting gallery.
