Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Old Hay Market (now Victoria Square), Montreal, 1834
Français : Ancien marché au foin (aujourd'hui place Victoria), Montréal, en 1834
« En 1809, les commissaires chargés de la démolition des fortifications, en ruine depuis la Conquête, acquièrent des terrains à l’extérieur de la vieille ville afin d’ouvrir une place publique. Le marché au foin, tenu sur la place d’Armes, est déplacé sur la nouvelle place des Commissaires. Des résidences et des étables bordent l’espace pendant que la rivière Saint-Martin, au nord, limite le développement de la ville. En 1824, le cours d’eau est remblayé afin de laisser cours aux activités marchandes. Plusieurs institutions religieuses s’établissent alors en périphérie. En 1841, la Ville procède à l’acquisition de deux terrains situés au nord de l’ancienne rivière, pavant ainsi la voie à l’extension de la place des Commissaires qui deviendra le square Victoria. » – ville.montreal.qc.ca
