La Presse Building/St.Catherine East | Montreal In The Time Of Tramways

 Historic views of Montreal’s trams in the early 20th century (1/12)

 

This is an early 1920s view of a tram on St. Catherine St. near the La Presse Building in Montreal’s east end. Check out the signs and you’ll see the La Presse slogan –  “L’Organe des Canadiens-Francais” – and their circulation at the time – 100,000 readers.
