As part of
its Pointe-à-Callière Cultural Outings series available exclusively to Members,
the Foundation is pleased to invite you to its second activity:
A guided tour
exploring the architectural evolution of Saint-Laurent Boulevard since 1880
We’ll
follow in the footsteps of an expert guide from the Héritage Montreal Foundation—Pointe-à-Callière’s
partner for this exceptional cultural outing—as we make our way up the “Main”
from Prince-Arthur Street to Laurier Street. Along the way, we’ll explore the
history of the artisans’ workshops and small neighbourhood stores that gave way
to a succession of
clothing manufacturers, making Saint-Laurent Boulevard one of Canada’s most important
manufacturing hubs. We’ll also explore how the Main’s essentially commercial
nature, which drew thousands of workers from various cultural communities, has
evolved to what it is today.
