Phillip's Square, Some Photographs

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; 
Phillip's Square is across the street from Morgan's
