Old Photos of the St. Pierre River

 These photographs are saved from a Facebook page, Historical Montreal Photographs. 


Photograph of the St. Pierre River, from the McCord Museum looking south towards a bridge at Western Avenue, at The Glen in Westmount, in 1889.


This, and the following photo, are from 1 June 1938, of a concrete bridge over the St. Pierre
River. I think this might be at Westminster Avenue near the future Westover Avenue. 



See above.


Aerial photograph from the late 1940s, showing the course of the St. Pierre River, 
notably Cote St. Luc Road and Westminster. It's mostly farmland and (I think) it shows
the St. Pierre River intersecting present-day Westminster Avenue and the future Westover Avenue.
You can also see the farm buildings in the photo of the cement culvert above, 
which suggests that the two other photographs were taken looking west. 


A 1903 map showing where the St. Pierre River emptied into the St. Lawrence River.
