| Title |
Privacy in Row Houses of Montreal
|
| Abstract |
Includes an historical overview of housing construction in Montreal between 1850 and 1950. The author points out that between 1850 and 1900, the city's population increased almost four-fold due to Montreal being the industrial centre of Canada. The influx of Europeans, mainly of Irish and British descent, and the migration of French Canadians from rural areas, brought social and ethnic changes to the city. The author demonstrates that the social classes became more pronounced. Well-established Scottish and English merchants and industrialists were considered well-to-do; skilled workers (clerks, administrators, professionals and government workers) were in the middle-income group; and unskilled workers, who were mainly French Canadian and Irish, were classified as the working-class. The author argues that these divisions in Montreal were so fundamental that housing had to be adapted according to the new social and economic order.
