Title
Opening the Gates of Eighteenth-Century Montréal
Abstract
In the last section of the book, the editors focus on the urban house, Montreal's principal building type in the eighteenth-century, examining it in its material and social environments: morphology of town and fortifications, distribution of institutional buildings, and formative legal traditions — metropolitan French above all, but later also British and American. The demolition of Montreal's fortification walls (1801-1817) that had defined the town blurred town and suburb and augured a new urban form.
