Grey Nuns Residence, Concordia University, Montreal QC

Geschichte

Renowned architect Victor Bourgeau, designer of many religious buildings in Montreal, designed the landmark limestone buildings of the Grey Nuns complex. The Hôpital Général and the community spaces portion of the complex opened in October 1871; the chapel was consecrated in 1879. Other parts of the complex, including the orphanage and the Motherhouse, were completed by October 1901.

The property included cultivated fields and orchards. The Faubourg complex now sits on a part of this land, some of which was originally leased from the Grey Nuns in 1925 to build the older part of the building in which the food court is today.
