The station also played a significant role in the development of southwest Montreal. Its architecture reflects both the building’s function and its location in an affluent neighborhood. According to the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada, the architectural design of the station was among the most successful of the Canadian Pacific’s mid-sized railway stations.
Fifteen years after its acquisition by the City of Westmount, the station remains boarded up and unoccupied. Although several projects appear to have been explored, none have come to fruition. Today, the station no longer benefits from any legal protection, as the Heritage Railway Stations Protection Act (C-205), passed in 1985 and enforced in 1990, applies only to railway companies. Furthermore, the building has no municipal designation recognizing its heritage value.
