A guide to north-end buildings
Nice piece from Metro looking at various old buildings around the north end, not nearly as well known as those in Old Montreal. I wouldn’t mind a look inside the last one listed.

In case anyone is thinking of it, let me warn that it’s pretty unfulfilling to make any sort of pre-1900 building tour on the island that can’t be done on foot. The vinyl siding, oh god the vinyl siding.

On and around the location of Île-de-la-Visitation park there are a fair number of older buildings, including Visitation church, the oldest one (still standing) on the island of Montreal, and some of the buildings featured in that piece. Not much vinyl siding.
Gouin is a trip when you get into some of the areas where the nouveau riche have built houses facing the river, but you’d want a bike or car to get there because it’s quite a hike.
