Montreal (Court House)

This building was erected in 1856 on the site of the old Jesuit Monastery. It is a structure of dignified proportions, with a frontage of three hundred feet. A striking feature of the front, the great entrance portico, is supported by six beautiful Ionic columns. The huge bottle, about twenty feet high , which stands in front of the Court House, is used as a newspaper kiosk. In the rear extends the Champ de Mars, a large parade ground.
