Façade collapses in Ste-Marie

The Journal has some dramatic photos of the collapsed brick façade of a triplex in eastern Ville‑Marie.

I don’t have a media link yet, but on Facebook I see from Christine Gosselin that the façade of St‑Esprit church on Masson has become unstable, so emergency work is being done and that section of the street is blocked off to traffic. Posting this partly as relevant to our recent discussion of the state of church buildings in town.
