Pre-war apartments buildings in your town

[Martin Mtl]

You can published thousands and thousands of pictures from out-of-Canada cities to prove how superior the rest of the world is compare to us. But that was not the point of this thread.

you're right — it's not the point of your thread. rome picture removed.

but both "thousands" and "to prove how superior the rest of the world is compare to us" are inaccurate. i'm a canadian living abroad and most of my ssp time is spent in the canada forum, so i share pics from where i am.

i hardly think threads like this one would convince anyone that canada is somehow lagging compared to where i am.

anyway, this has been a great thread and i do not want to derail it. more canadian apartment blocks, please!

Flar, the Winnipeg "apartment buildings or old hotels" are (1) the Ambassador Apartments (1909), of which I showed a "detail" shot and (2) the Peck Building (1893) which is and always has been a commercial/warehouse building (although it was bought by the Church of Scientology a few years ago - I'm not sure what building class it would fall in once they've done whatever they're going to do with it).

I almost never go to Westmount/NDG/Mtl West. It´s like this big chunk of the city that feels like somewhere else than my own town. Montreal's stock is even more impressive than I thought.

It was not designed as an apartment building originally, so it doesn't really count if we want to be purist about it.

I especially love this: http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...july/00206.jpg

And this:

If that were the front and back of the same building, I'm moving.

Well, what a coincidence: I also lived here for two years (I mentioned up-thread that I spent two years in another apartment captured by flar):



It was a pretty groovy place, actually. The area isn't bad, though it's not as funky as it could have been. It's a little street called "Charles Street," just south of city hall.

I passed by this place when I was visiting Hamilton a couple days ago! (and probably at least a few of the others Flar posted)
