Montreal (St. James Street at Place d'Armes)

St. James Street is the Broadway of Montreal. It is lined with many fine stores and other symmetrical and attractive edifices. The view shows the Imperial Building at the extreme right, the beautiful Corinthian colonnade of the Bank of Montreal and the stately front and clock tower of the Post Office beyond. The square of the Place d'Armes, so named from having been the parade ground of Montgomery's American army in 1775, is directly opposite.
