you can also see the auditorium of the loews, the little church just to the left of the train tracks is now in ville st laurent, it was moved brick by brick to become the chapel of the present cegep st laurent

i agree, what is incredible, is the era it was moved, back when it was easier to tear things down.

Yes and now with all the funky high technology that would ease the process,they find a way to bypass all kind of patrimonial laws...and good by....too much dinero....$......Cheaper to build new stuff (that will not even last an 1/8 of those old gems !)

well, one of the sadder events in that neighborhood is when the fairly new (20 years) chapel of the sisters of ste croix at vanier college was converted to a library they simply built 2 floors in there, the c building is an ancient convent that also has very few traces of its history.

My grandparent's house was originally at the corner of Wellington and Galt in Verdun. Around 1930 most of the house was "jacked up" onto to a low riding flat bed type of trailer and moved to Gordon Avenue above Verdun Ave.
One of my aunts used to say she could remember seeing it moved, The original location today is the Metro and the house on Gordon is an apartment building
