A beautiful row of three-story houses with gray stone facades. The demolition request has been filed and aims to demolish the buildings to make way for the construction of an 8-story residential building with 63 apartments. Those interested in the case had until January 26, 2016, to submit a “reasoned objection” to the demolition. The demolition request was withdrawn and the apartments are now available for rent.
However, a partial collapse of the building’s facade was observed in February 2026, although the exact date of the event is unknown, raising concerns about the future of this series of buildings.
1825-1849, avenue de Lorimier
