Place d’Armes is encircled by many other Montreal landmarks. Let’s take a few minutes to admire a few of them starting with the Aldred Building. One look at the handsome, Indiana limestone exterior suggests Édifice Aldred was built in the early 1930s when Art Deco was at the peak of popularity across the globe. Montreal’s first skyscraper at 316 feet was designed by Ernest Isbell Barott for the Aldred & Company of New York.
