A stroll through Montreal is a journey through a museum of landmarks. When you’re downtown, towers like Le 1000 De La Gauchetière, La Tour McGill, and Complexe Desjardins overlook the crowds; turn your head at the right time, you can spot the Farine Five Roses sign or Olympic Tower through buildings. Mount Royal looms over the island, with Saint Joseph’s Oratory peeking out at you from the mountainside. These are all parts of a backdrop to day-to-day life here.
L’Édifice Joseph-Arthur-Godin at the corner of Saint-Laurent Boulevard and Sherbrooke Street is one of these landmarks, greeting partygoers as they meander into the Plateau at twilight. The concrete Art Nouveau building stands out with its curved walls and picturesque balconies looking out onto the city’s thoroughfare.
