Bibliothèque Saint-Sulpice
This was the great library of French-Canadian letters, built by the Sulpicians in 1915 in elegant Beaux-Arts, with remarkable stained glass and reading rooms. For decades it was the intellectual heart of francophone Montreal in the Quartier Latin, near the old Université de Montréal campus. Read it as the counterpart to the Anglo institutions downtown — French-Canadian intellectual ambition in stone.
A 1915 Beaux-Arts library on Saint-Denis built by the Sulpicians — long the temple of French-Canadian intellectual life, with stunning stained glass.
