Built in phases from 1893 to the early 50's. Some of the pavilions reached 45m tall and were some of the tallest buildings in the city at the time.
Among the many medical milestones reached in these buildings, Norman Bethune and "I smell burnt toast" is perhaps it's most Canadian one.

"I smell burnt toast" LOL. Too bad McGill is going to take it. It would have been an amazing Hotel and condo conversion with retail and offices on the lower levels. Minus that 1950's section. That part can go.
