From the French Regime in Old Montreal to masterpieces of Gothic Revival to cobbled stones. The rich legacy of the 19th century in Montreal’s Victorian and Neo-Classical buildings. From the grandeur of the Bank of Montreal Building to the elegance of the Bonsecours Market, these structures reflect the city’s prosperity and ambition during this period of rapid growth.
