Montage du jour : La chapelle du collège Loyola

One comment

1. Back in the early fifties we used to play in the Lyola Campus when it was all open land South from the dead end streets/avenues off of Somerled.

   We would bring peanuts and feed the squirrels there in abundance.

   Never any problems unless you were in the area proscribed by the buildings toward Sherbrooke.

   Later, the land was fenced, and buildings added.

   Two years ago I walked through the campus on the road that would be ‘Terrebonne’ had it been pushed thru to West Broadway, and I see the antique almost-minature yellowish brick smokestack for the steam power plant to the North of the buildings was still in place.

   Almost opposite Loyola across Sherbrooke was a single house facing North. It was burned for fire practice c. 1963, and a crowd assembled, tieing up traffic, as the fire dept. put out and relit the house several times.
