La maison Shaughnessy
Abstract
An examination of the transformation of the Shaughnessy House into the Canadian Centre for Architecture. The American-born Thomas George Shaughnessy (1853-1923), 1st Baron Shaughnessy, rose from a clerk with the Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad to eventually serve as president of the Canadian Pacific Railroad between 1899 to 1918. Shaughnessy House, his home in Montreal's Golden Square Mile, was designed by Montreal architect William Tutin Thomas (1829-1892) in 1876. The Second Empire-style house was bought by Phyllis Lambert in 1974 to safeguard the building from demolition and had it transformed into the Canadian Centre for Architecture. The Centre opened in 1989.
