Cours Le Royer
This is the Old Montreal space tourists walk past. A run of nineteenth-century stone warehouses was converted in the 1970s into housing and offices around a quiet pedestrian courtyard with a fountain. It's one of the city's best early adaptive-reuse projects, and a calm read of how heavy industrial structure becomes livable space.
A serene pedestrian courtyard carved from converted nineteenth-century warehouses — an early, exemplary adaptive-reuse project in the old city.
