*** Ma collection photographique touchant à sa fin et mes temps libre étant actuellement plutôt limités, je suspendrai donc cette chronique pour une durée indéterminée d’ici les prochains jours.

Thanks

Anyway, thanks for going to the trouble of sharing these photos. They tell us about a city that must have been a very agreeable place to live in, at least if you were one of the 5% or so earning more than say 1000$ per year. I wonder what will the city look like compared to today in another 120 years or so

Un autre gros merci, Guillaume — j’ai adoré voir les transformations parfois affreuse de MTL… vive le progrès :)

Luckily, I come from Vancouver which has destroyed even more of what little history it had, so I still think Montreal is a wonderful city to walk about despite a few modern monstrosities and many lost jewels.

Thanks for all the photos! They’ve been one of my favourite Spacing features.

1234 De La Montagne was featured on the show Creepy Canada in 2004 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creepy_Canada) If I can remember the story, it is apparently haunted by the spirits of people whose bodies were, uh, ‘violated’ by a funeral director during its tenure as a funeral home. The show’s worth watching for its poorly acted reconstructions ghostly experiences but not for much else…
