Snowdon Theatre and its condo conversion
La Presse’s Émilie Côté is doing a series on what’s happening, or has happened, to the city’s old cinemas. This week she looked at the condo conversion of the Snowdon Theatre.
I missed blogging last week’s – Le Château on St‑Denis at Bélanger, which now has both a church and a trapeze school inside.

Le Château also has a restaurant in its southeast corner.

I’ve been to the trapeze school for a birthday party for one of my kids’ friends. It was cool, but also a bit sad. Much of the architectural artwork is covered, lost, or damaged. You can sorta see in one photo where they drilled holes in the art deco ceiling mouldings to put the anchor supports for the trapezes. It was still impressive, though. I took a 360 degree photo with my phone while I was there.

carswell, yes, you’re right. It used to be Aux Derniers Humains, but there was a bizarre stabbing attack there some time ago and the location has changed hands a few times since.

dhomas, can we see the picture? You can send it to me and I can post it here. Unless it’s already online?
