Opening the Gates of Eighteenth-Century Montréal

Publication, September 1992

Opening the Gates of Eighteenth-Century Montréal considers the building of the eighteenth-century military and commercial town of Montréal, the nucleus from which the present city grew. Based on a fifteen-year study of manuscript sources from Europe and North America, the book focuses on the interrelationships of three key elements of Montréal’s urban form: the fortifications, the ownership, distribution, and use of property within its walls, and the nature of its buildings.

Part of a series that includes Montréal Metropolis, 1880–1930, Villes industrielles planifiées and The New Spirit: Modern Architecture in Vancouver, 1938–1963.

Edited by Phyllis Lambert and Alan Stewart
Essays by André Charbonneau, Marc Lafrance, Phyllis Lambert, Monique Poirier, and Alan Stewart
Graphic design by Glenn Goluska

Published in French as Montréal, ville fortifiée au XVIIIe siècle
