Throughout its long history Montreal has seen styles come and go, each contributing to a rich patchwork of art and architecture that is quite unlike anything else in the world. Unique economic, political and cultural conditions, and the influences of its neighbours, have given rise to a wealth of buildings that draw on the traditions and innovation of Quebec, the United States, Britain and France.
This guide, by the authors of Mansions of the Golden Square Mile, presents 189 buildings to illustrate 34 architectural styles, each with its own vocabulary, its ideal of beauty and its significance in the evolution of a city which has been more than 365 years in the making. It is hoped it will become an essential tool for those wishing to know more about Montreal’s exceptional heritage.
