Victoria Hall In Westmount Quebec

Westmount Quebec has some of the nicest architectural buildings in Montreal. A nice example is Victoria Hall, located beside Westmount Park on Sherbrooke Street West.

Victoria Jubilee Hall opened in 1899 and was destroyed by fire in 1924. It was originally petitioned by citizens as a community centre. The architect, Robert Findlay designed Victoria Jubilee Hall using the same style and materials as the Westmount Library. After the fire, a second community centre was built in stone in the neo-Tudor style by the architectural firm Hutchison & Wood. Gothic details, a square crenellated tower, the four turrets, the oriel window above the ogival doors and the buttresses of the two wings were done with Sandstone. The centre has a large hall with balcony performance stage. To date, its’ most recent renovation and restoration was performed in 1998 effected by the firm Fournier, Gersovitz & Moss.

Until December 16^th, from 10 AM to 9 PM, at the Victoria Hall Gallery come visit the exhibition of Montreal painter and glass worker Guido Nincheri (1885-1973). The exposition looks at the influences through which the works of art on both canvas and glass were created. Presented in collaboration with the Conseil des arts de Montréal.
