Griffintown Photos - Montreal has got skills.

by elran

Here are some great Griffintown pics i found on Flickr, all licensed: Creative Commons. Thought they might help in setting the mood for this Weekend’s Remembering Griffintown Event. It’s going to be 3 days of festivities, with our Griffintown Monthly Mess Show on Saturday the 13th, sandwiched smack-dab in between all the craziness. That’s just how we like it, and we’re thinkin’ you might like it too..

cold winter in Griffintown

Montreal, Griffintown, 1725 basin street

Built in 1926, abandonned, in poor shape, for sale. Originally, it was home of the Maclean’s Cocoa Mills. Corner of St-Martin.

The New City Gas / Montreal Light Heat and Power building entrance door, on Ann street. This place was built in 1859, which makes it the oldest industrial building of Montreal still standing.

This street corner will vanish within the next year.

this building was used by the CN Rails, for their bridge operators.

wellington train bridge, over the lachine canal, between griffintown and pointe-saint0-charles.

This is the former Police Station of Griffintown (no.7), note the poor shape of the interior side of the window.

Survivors. Even Devimco won’t touch these, althought located straight in the middle of their Village Griffintown project.
