Phillips Square, Some Photographs

There are hundreds of historical photographs of Phillips Square, here are a few that show how the square has changed over the years. 

Here is Phillips Square when it was still treed and rural; the Art Association of Montreal
(now the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts) in the background;

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
