Popular Post Rocco Posted April 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2021 Rénovation majeure un peu passée sous le radar, le majestueux édifice Board of Trade, rue du Saint-Sacrement dans le Vieux-Montréal. L'intérieur a été "gutté" à 100% et on remplace également toutes les fenêtres. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing more for now but its a huge reno. The whole building is being refurbished totally. Its a jewel of a building, mostly hidden from sight as its main façade is on a tiny street.

Popular Post Rocco Posted April 30, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2021 L'histoire du site: un premier édifice est construit en 1893 par le Board of Trade. Un gigantesque incendie le détruit en 1901. L'édifice est reconstruit sur les anciennes fondations, dans un style plus classique. C'est l'édifice qui est sur le site encore aujourd'hui. Le Board of Trade y loge ainsi que plusieurs locataires. Pendant plus de 20 ans, jusque dans les années 1920, il s'agit du plus gros édifice du Vieux-Montréal. Le Board of Trade déménage en 1967, mais l'édifice demeure un édifice à bureau. Tous les locataires quittent finalement l'édifice pour une réfection totale en 2020-2021. Photos: 1) premier édifice de 1893, 2) ce même édifice incendié en 1901, 3) le nouvel édifice de 1903 en lieu et place de l'ancien, qui demeure encore aujourd'hui. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic723 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Dommage que l'ancienne ''version'' du bâtiment aie brulée, les fenêtres y étaient beaucoup plus grande et le bâtiment avait un style un peu moins austère. Je suis curieux de savoir à quoi va ressembler l'intérieur et si des anciennes parties du décors y sont encore présentes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A gigantic fire destroyed it in 1901. The building was rebuilt on the old foundations, in a more classical style. It is the building which is still on the site today. The Board of Trade accommodates there as well as several tenants. For more than 20 years, until the 1920s, it was the largest building in Old Montreal. The Board of Trade moved in 1967, but the building remained an office building. All the tenants finally leave the building for a total renovation in 2020-2021. Photos: 1) first building from 1893, 2) the same building burnt down in 1901, 3) the new building from 1903 in place of the old one, which still remains today. Thank you for the detailed research and illustrations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
