A city of hidden history

I have a handful of photoblogs that I love to visit regularly (mostly because they’re much better than mine!), one of them being that of our very own Andre. Another one that I really enjoy is Toronto’s Sam who posted this picture that he took while visiting Old Montreal.

Everyone knows that Montreal has a fascinating, rich history, but I love the surprise history that you see in that picture. It makes me wonder what those two original buildings were, especially the smaller, stone building. Was it a store of some sort? Did someone live there? What did the owners do for a living? How did they pass their evenings?

I haven’t been in Old Montreal for awhile - I think this summer I’ll have to go wander around again.

    Howdy!

    If you give Heritage Montreal a call I’m certain that they will be able to answer all you questions.

    For what it is worth, that is the corner of Saint Sacrement and Saint Francois Xavier.
