Rue Sherbrooke Ouest (Golden Square Mile)
This was the Golden Square Mile, where Canada's nineteenth-century wealth built in stone, and Sherbrooke is its spine. Walk it reading the surviving grey-limestone mansions, the Beaux-Arts confidence, and how the MMFA exhibits its own architectural evolution across the street from itself. Look up.
The grand boulevard of Montreal's old Anglo elite — Beaux-Arts and Edwardian mansions, the Ritz, and the MMFA's contrasting pavilions.
