Darrell Morrisey at the Linton Apartments






Always a prestigeous address, the Linton Apartments in downtown Montreal--near the corner of Guy and Sherbrooke Street West--was home to Darrell Morrisey and her family; Darrell Morrisey is one of the "forgotten" Beaver Hall Artists, in the early years of the 20th Century.

    Within sight of Edward Rawlings' Simpson Street mansion, once home to a very young John Glassco. I like to think that Darrell Morrissey's apartment overlooked the Rawlings' grounds, in which the poet played.

    (Glassco's mother, Beatrice Rawlings, always resented the construction of the Linton Apartments.)
