St Henri has perhaps one of the most varied stock of housing in Montreal. St Henri housing
includes some of Montreal's last all wood houses dating back to the 1880's, rooming houses from the 1920's,
Victorian townhouses and contemporary luxury Condominiums.
St Henri is today mostly a residential community.
Courtyards and lanes were often used for new housing in the late
19th century as industrialization precipitated rapid population growth.
McGill's Solin Hall student residence last renovated in 1990 was once
a candy factory.
Innovative, affordable and adaptable housing encompasses some familiar design accents with low cost materials and building techniques. Note space in the back for future expansion.
