former Musée Historique Canadienne, Montreal

former Musée Historique Canadienne, MontrealAccording to the Côte-des-Neiges booklet from the 10th World Congress on Art Deco in Montreal, it is difficult today, to find much information about the museum which occupied this building in a past life.

The building was built in 1935 and the architect was Paul M Lemieux.

The current occupant is a pharmacy chain and the doors enclosed in this large arch are no longer used but the words "Musée Historique Canadienne" can still be seen inscribed into the façade.

An unsual aspect of the building is a series of religious figures that stand in niches at the corners of the building. They don't appear to fit with the use of the building as a museum.
