Westmount Public Library and Greenhouse
Out in Westmount, this 1899 building was the first purpose-built free public library in Quebec, and beside it sits a Victorian greenhouse and a quiet park. It's a complete, intact civic ensemble of its era — library, conservatory, and green space — and almost no visitor finds it. Free and calming.
Quebec's first purpose-built public library (1899), with an adjoining Victorian glass conservatory and park — a serene civic ensemble.
