About the Image:<\/strong> Discovered this Barbershop in Point-Saint-Charles, which seemed to have all the original settings dating back to the old days. Four beautiful Barber chairs were anchored majestically in the center of the shop.<\/p>\n

AR Intervention Site: <\/strong>Condo development called\u00a0Gallery Lofts Sur La Canal<\/em><\/a> located at rue\u00a01314 Olier,\u00a0Griffintown (le Sud-Ouest), Montreal.<\/p>\n

About the Developer:<\/strong>\u00a0Part of Gallery Lofts Sur La Canal’s<\/em> pitch on their site states that: “Gallery Lofts Sur Le Canal is a condo project in Montreal that breathes new life into Griffintown. Inspired in part by the industrial heritage of the area, Gallery’s architecture blends the old with the new to offer the best of both worlds in a postmodern reinvention of the condo-loft.<\/em>“<\/p>\n

It is amazing how many of these condo developers play off the heritage idea. It is ironic though that their presence and developments is exactly what is eradicating any semblance of our past heritage. Also love their line about ‘postmodern<\/em> reinvention’. You’d think they had gone to art school or something.<\/p>\n

About the Location:<\/strong>\u00a0Griffintown<\/b>\u00a0is the popular name given to the former southwestern downtown part of\u00a0Montreal,\u00a0Quebec, which existed from the 1820s until the 1960s and was mainly populated by\u00a0Irish\u00a0immigrants and their descendants.\u00a0One can identify Griffintown as the portion of the ward of St. Ann located north of the Lachine Canal; the part south of the canal is now part of\u00a0Pointe-Saint-Charles<\/a>. This part of the ward was delimited by\u00a0Notre-Dame Street\u00a0to the North,\u00a0McGill Street\u00a0to the east, and a short segment of the city limit between Notre-Dame Street and the canal west of the St. Gabriel Locks to the west.[3]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0It was the earliest and largest\u00a0faubourg<\/a>\u00a0annexed to Old Montreal before the introduction of the\u00a0tram\u00a0car in the 1840s.<\/p>\n

Michel R\u00e9gnier made a film on the subject in 1972, which used archival photos of Griffintown, along with interviews of former residents in order to paint a picture of the landscape, community, and a people. Richard Burman made a documentary in 2003 call ‘Ghosts of Griffintown’. It starts off telling the story of Mary Gallagher, a prostitute who was brutally murdered in 1879 and returns every seven years to William Street in search of her head. It then explores the history using this story as a metaphor on how the community itself has disappeared like a ghost.[6]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0Alan Hustak has written a book ‘The Ghost of Griffintown’ which explores in great detail the murder of Mary Gallagher.[7]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0Lisa Gasior created the Griffinsound Project that is a walking tour designed to be completed individually. It provides a background and interviews regarding the changing landscape of this space.[8]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n
