Montreal - Westmount Square & Westmount

Montréal's Anglo-Canadian Westmount district south-east of Mount Royal centers around the square of the same name (metro Atwater). Its steel and glass office buildings are by Mies van der Rohe and were completed in 1966, typifying the high-rise international architecture of the mid-20th century.

It forms quite a contrast with the late 19th c. mansions and villas still very much a feature of the surrounding streets.

The hills of Westmount are the location of some of the wealthier homes of Montreal.
