Facades of Memory

A row of historic Montréal townhouses rises from the sidewalk, their grey stone façades crowned by slate mansard roofs and finely detailed dormers. Carefully maintained trim—reds, creams, and ochres—highlights cornices, balconies, and window frames, while a blooming lilac and summer foliage soften the scene with seasonal life. Photographed from street level, the upward perspective emphasizes rhythm, craft, and the layered textures of a lived-in heritage streetscape.
