1920-2008
La photographie ci-dessus nous présente l’hôtel prince de Galles qui occupait alors les maisons situées aux numéros 17 et 19 de l’avenue McGill college.
En effet, cette rue, autrefois à vocation purement résidentielle, était bordée de part et d’autre de maisons en rangée construites vers 1875.

Wow. It was a real street!
Also, as previously noted on this blog, just to the east was Victoria Street, which was one of city’s main entertainment streets, including the Crystal Palace and other venues.
Like others, I’m old enough to remember McGill College before it got straightened and widened, when it was still a fairly funky street, snaking up from Cathcart Street into a bleak set of parking lots between Saint Catherine and Sherbrooke.
