Montreal Then & Now

Considered North America's most "European" city, Montrial is known for its culture, sophisticated population and its amazing architectural history. The latest title in the hugely popular "Then and Now series takes readers to Quibec's charming capital city, Montrial, for an amazing past and present tour which includes the following. A rich historical overview written by Alan Hustak (a journalist for the Montrial Gazette) describes Montrial's development from a fur trading outpost on the banks of the St. Lawrence River to its present incarnation as the business and cultural center of Canada. Originally named Ville-Marie, the settlement became known as Mont Royal, after the tallest of the hills overlooking the river valley. Readers will marvel at how much this modern metropolis has evolved in its history. Dozens of photographs show how some of Montrial's most important landmarks looked long ago and how they look today. Fascinating side-by-side then-and-now images of popular destinations like the Windsor Hotel, St. Ann's Market, Christ Church Cathedral, and Montrial Harbor showcase Montrial's finest architecture and views. Though much has changed since the city was first settled in the 17th century, readers will agree that Montrial's charm will never fade.Hustak, Alan is the author of 'Montreal Then & Now ' with ISBN 9781592235988 and ISBN 1592235980.
