Here's a picture. You see the old Windsor hotel at the right (now the CIBC tower). At your left, where the two churches are, we now have the 1250 René-Lévesques and soon the Roccabella. The churches were most likely demolished when they enlarge Dorchester in the 1950's. But I'm not sure.

I would say the church in the foreground was destroyed to make way for the Laurentien Hotel, which was smack at the corner of peel and Dorchester, and was built in 1948. The second church (deeper in the frame) is probably where 1250 now is.

I'm stunned. Were those pics taken by aeroplane or did google send a satellite back in 1947??

I had the reflex to zoom in and double-click to go into street view mode. Very disappointing!

Très impressionnant !

Je suis resté trente minutes à me promener en 1947... Merci Dirt devil ! Ce qui me frappe le plus ce sont les tramways, notamment sur Ste-Catherine et sur Dorchester (René Lévesque). Au coin sud-ouest du square dominion il y avait un croisement de lignes qui devait être assez achalandé.

Les tramways restent associés pour moi à l'âge d'or des villes nord-américaines, denses, vraiment urbaines, et à Montréal une ville remplie de clubs de jazz, de music hall, de théâtres burlesques... et aussi de bordels et de mafieux ! (Le dernier point, c'est ce qui a le moins changé...)

Oh wow, you now what would be great? If we could add old photos to that map at specific locations, like they do on the real google maps. Those are especially useful for cities in countries that don't have street view.

Merci Rico,

On peut voir sur la photo qu'ils en sont à enlever les fondations des bâtiments qui étaient là avant le stationnement. On les voit d'ailleurs très bien sur le lien 1947!

J'aurai une belle vue sur 5 chantiers d'ici à ce que je changes de projet, et peut-être même un 6e quand la tour Deloitte commencera à monter et sera plus haute que le Centre Bell... Je "posterai" des photos si je peux!

De quoi ca va avoir de l'air

Je n'avais rien a faire ce matin, alors j'ai essayer de faire ma part!
http://www.flickr.com/photos/96619949@N08/8858761839/
Ceci est a quoi, si on oublie mon terrible talent a modifier des photos, le quoin de l'avenue condo/rocabella/centre bell, va resembler. Alors toute a gauche dans le fond, il y a les deux tours icones, en avant de ca il ya les tours rocabella, en suite en avant de ca, l avenue condo et ensuite, le rectangle gris, etant donne que je ne pouvais pas avoir des photos de cet angle la, la tour des canadiens. Si j'ai mes emplacements correct, c'est de ca que ca va resembler, en tout cas j espere parce que ca ne saura pas plus laid que ca l'est en ce moment!

Bievenue jspetit! Tu nous gâtes avec tes photos de ce point de vue.

frenchcanadian3: Tes emplacements sont correct. Ton rendu nous donne une assez bonne idée de quoi De la Montagne va ressembler dans quelques années.
