There are hundreds of historical photographs of Phillip's Square, here are a few that follow the changes in the square.
Here is Phillip's Square when it was still treed and rural; the Art Association of Montreal (now the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts) in the background; the city plans to restore some of the trees |
The building on the right was owned by Alfred Joyce, a prominent Montreal businessman; the building was demolished and the Canada Cement Building constructed on this site in 1922 |
The Canada Cement Building is directly behind the statue of King Edward VII |
Morgan's Department store on the left;
