What was life like in the heyday of the Golden Square Mile?

Join us on a stroll back in time to Victorian-era Montreal, when some of Canada’s richest families settled on the slope of Mount Royal in the Golden Square Mile. We’ll look at what the remaining row houses and mansions tell us about power, wealth, even scandal in bygone Montreal. And we’ll hear how the changing face of the landscape invites us to reflect on the balance between building something new and preserving our built past.
