Many of these old towns and suburbs were long ago absorbed into the city, but traces of their past character can still be seen in their streets. <\/p>\n<p>Last week, Guillaume St-Jean wrote about <a href=\"https:\/\/spacing.ca\/montreal\/?p=128\">three one-storey buildings in Villeray that will be demolished<\/a> for condos. Clad in brick, these kinds of flat-roofed brick houses were built mostly in the 1910s and 1920s in the neighbourhoods north of the CPR tracks, like Little Italy, Park Ex, Villeray and <a href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?f=q&#038;hl=en&#038;geocode=&#038;time=&#038;date=&#038;ttype=&#038;q=youville,+qc&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;ll=45.546785,-73.63801&#038;spn=0.017312,0.047035&#038;z=15&#038;om=1\">Youville <\/a>(an old village in what is now northern Villeray and southern Ahuntsic). I&#8217;ve always found them funny because they look like triplexes missing their top floors.<\/p>\n<p>In the east end, it&#8217;s not unusual to find another type of one-storey building: old woodframe cottages, many of them set well back from the street in contrast to the plexes that surround them. That&#8217;s the case on Joliette Street in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, where I spotted the two houses above. According to the city&#8217;s property bank, the green house was built in 1910. You wouldn&#8217;t know it from the vinyl siding. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m curious to know who built these houses and why. Were they too poor to invest in a full-fledged duplex or triplex, which were far more lucrative? Did they simply predate the mass development of plexes?<\/p>\n<p><i><a href=\"http:\/\/www.urbanphoto.net\/blog\/2007\/10\/09\/one-storey-houses\/\">Crossposted from Urbanphoto<\/a>.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Montreal developed as a geographically disparate patchwork of independent municipalities.
