The architecture is fairly different in the scheme of working class Western architecture from that period but the building arrangement and street network is roughly similar. I wonder if part of it is that Quebec and Halifax were both slower growing cities while Montreal was a faster growing city.
In Halifax there are blocks with medium density buildings from the early 1800's outside of downtown where somebody came along and building something of similar density 100 years later. In Montreal in 1900 it was already more industrial scale greenfield construction.
A significant portion of West End Halifax is made up of street planned out in the 1870's ("city streets" and "tree streets") and some of them have 1930's and 40's houses on them.
