The architecture of the 20th-century caisse pop
For a time in the mid 20th, the Mouvement Desjardins sparked some interesting architecture including a branch in Quebec City that resembles the Guggenheim Museum, and another, more familiar to Montrealers, on Notre‑Dame in St‑Henri – now for sale and with an uncertain future.

I was pretty delighted the first time I stumbled across that branch in Quebec City.
The one on Notre-Dame is heritage listed and its external appearance needs to be preserved. Given the shape of the building I imagine that limits any redevelopment opportunities. Then again it has a pretty big parking lot so there might be potential for something interesting.

It would make a nifty blog HQ if I had a couple of million dollars…
