Sketch for Bonaventure Station, Montréal, Frost and Granger
|
| The first Bonaventure Station in Montréal was built in 1847 as the terminal for the Montréal and Lachine Railway. In 1864, the Grand Trunk Railway wanted a downtown location, so it leased and later purchased the Station. In 1900, the Railway considered rebuilding its terminal and called for proposals from Chicago architects Charles S. Frost and Albert Hoyt Granger. In the end, the station was never built. The florid decoration and eclectic mix of motifs from historical sources and sources of the period have been described as Edwardian Free-style. NMC 18486 |
