Description


Hotel Le Chateau Montréal « Le Château » , a residence of high distinction in downtown Montreal, is surrounded by the Ritz-Carlton and Sofitel hotels, the Mount Royal Club, the Holt&Renfrew fashion store and The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. The Honourable Pamphile R. DuTremblay, Q.C., owner of « La Presse » newspaper, commissioned the architectural firm of « Ross and Macdonald » to design this building of 136 apartments. Construction began in February 1925 and was carried out by « Anglin Norcross & Company, General Contractors ». Once completed, « Le Château » became known as the most prestigious residential building, a reputation that has flourished to this day. The choice of location in what was then Montreal’s sphere of influence (the Golden Square Mile) set a trend for the construction of now culturally significant high-quality buildings along elegant Sherbrooke Street. The building’s architecture was part of the château style inspired by the castles of France, which was very much in vogue at the time. Grand hotels created in this elegant motif sprung up across Canada: the Château Frontenac in Quebec City, Banff Springs Hotel in Banff, the Royal York Hotel in Toronto and the renewed Hotel Vancouver in Vancouver. Le Château’s remarkable facade is clad in Tyndall Stone from Manitoba. The main entrance leads to three wings, with six elevators in all. Each elevator is shared by two apartments per floor. The height of the building ranges from 12 to 14 floors, and each apartment has a functional fireplace. « Le Château, 1321 Sherbrooke Ouest Inc. » is incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act. Each owner among the 136 residential units holds a property lease and a corresponding number of shares in the corporation « Le Château, 1321 Sherbrooke Ouest Inc ». The Company is run by a Board of Directors composed of seven members who are elected by shareholders. At the annual general meeting, the Board of Directors submits the next year’s budget, and important decisions are presented for the shareholders to approve.

Hotel The Chateau Montreal « Le Château » immeuble résidentiel de prestige au centre-ville de Montréal est situé près des hotels Ritz-Carlton et Sofitel, du Club Mont-Royal, du magasin de mode Holt&Renfrew et du Musée des Beaux-Arts. L’Honorable Pamphile R. DuTremblay, c.r., propriétaire du journal « La Presse » confia la conception de cet édifice de 136 appartements, aux architectes « Ross and Macdonald », Sa construction débuta en février 1925 et fut réalisée par la firme « Anglin Norcross & Company, entrepreneurs généraux » .Une fois terminé, Le Château fut reconnu comme l’immeuble résidentiel le plus prestigieux, une réputation qu’il a toujours conservée à ce jour. Le choix de l’emplacement qui à l’époque était le centre de gravité de Montréal, a influé sans aucun doute sur la haute qualité et l’importance des immeubles qui ont été construits par la suite et qui ont fait de la rue Sherbrooke une rue de prestige. Les architectes ont suivi la tendance très populaire, à cette période, de concevoir les particularités du Château suivant la tradition des anciens châteaux de France. Ce style avait également été adopté pour la construction du Château Frontenac dans la ville de Québec, du Banff Springs Hotel à Banff, du Royal York Hotel à Toronto et du nouvel Hôtel Vancouver à Vancouver. La remarquable façade de l’immeuble est recouverte en pierre Tyndall du Manitoba. Une entrée dessert chacune des trois ailes, donnant accès à six ascenseurs. Chaque ascenseur dessert deux appartements par étage. La hauteur de l’édifice varie de douze à quatorze étages. Les appartements ont des cheminées fonctionnelles. « Le Château, 1321 Sherbrooke Ouest Inc. » est incorporé selon la Loi canadienne sur les sociétés par actions. Le propriétaire de chacune des 136 unités résidentielles détient un bail en propriété et un nombre correspondant d’actions dans la compagnie « Le Château, 1321 Sherbrooke Ouest Inc. » La Compagnie est administrée par un Conseil d’administration composé de sept membres élus par les actionnaires. Lors de l’assemblée annuelle, le Conseil d’administration soumet le budget pour l’année suivante. Les décisions importantes sont soumises à l’approbation des actionnaires. Merci Magik
