Description
Montreal’s Urban Plan recognized the importance of the waterfront landscapes and panoramas of Lake St-Louis, Lake of Two Mountains and Rivière des Prairies. Their significance is due to the presence of large properties and of canopies of mature trees, as well as the architectural quality of the homes and public buildings lining the waterfront and along Lakeshore Drive and Gouin Boulevard. In addition, early use of the waterways by First Nations peoples, and subsequently by French fur traders explains the strong archeological potential of the waterfront. A great many buildings, village settlements and institutional properties line the waterfront. They are reminders of the area’s different uses, from the initial agricultural, commercial and academic uses to the Post-War era of the health sector.
The use of the Saint-Lawrence River, its lakes and tributary streams for transportation is very old, as is the enjoyment of the waterfront for pleasure. Specific sites are associated with, First Nation settlements, the fur trade, the summer stays of great Montreal families, and recreational activities such as golf, water sports and shooting the rapids. In addition, place names such as Senneville, Baie D’Urfé, Lachine, Beaconsfield and Pointe Picard commemorate people, families and events of different eras.
Construction of monster houses — grandiose if architecturally banal mansions — along Lake Saint Louis has caused the loss of an exceptional landscape. Indifference on the part of several municipalities and a lack of effective regulation has meant the demolition of houses and other structures, as well as heritage stone walls and landscaping. The subdivision of waterfront properties has meant the loss of stands of trees and major gardens. This has resulted in a perceptible reduction in the river landscape and public visual access to Lake Saint Louis, one of the distinctive elements of the island of Montreal.
Thanks

Plan d'urbanisme de Montréal a reconnu l'importance des paysages riverains et des panoramas sur le lac St-Louis, le lac des Deux-Montagnes et la rivière des Prairies. Leur importance est due à la présence de grandes propriétés et de canopée des arbres matures, ainsi que la qualité architecturale des maisons et des bâtiments publics qui bordent le front de mer et le long de la promenade Lakeshore et du boulevard Gouin. En outre, l'utilisation précoce des cours d'eau par les peuples des Premières nations, et par la suite par les commerçants de fourrures français explique le fort potentiel archéologique du secteur riverain. A très nombreux bâtiments, des règlements et des institutions villageoises propriétés de ligne de la rive. Ils sont des rappels des différentes utilisations de la région, depuis les premières utilisations agricoles, commerciaux et universitaires à l'ère post-guerre du secteur de la santé. L'utilisation du fleuve Saint-Laurent, ses lacs et tributaires du transport est très ancienne, comme c'est le plaisir du front de mer pour le plaisir. Des sites spécifiques sont associés, les établissements des Premières nations, le commerce des fourrures, l'été des séjours de grandes familles montréalaises et des activités récréatives comme le golf, les sports nautiques et les rapides. En outre, les noms de lieux tels que Senneville, Baie D'Urfé, Lachine, Beaconsfield et Pointe Picard commémorer les personnes, les familles et les événements de différentes époques. Construction de maisons monstre - si grandiose architectural maisons banales - le long du lac Saint-Louis a causé la perte d'un paysage exceptionnel. L'indifférence de la part de plusieurs municipalités et un manque de réglementation efficace a entraîné la démolition de maisons et d'autres structures, ainsi que des murs en pierre du patrimoine et l'aménagement paysager. La subdivision des propriétés riveraines a entraîné la perte de peuplements d'arbres et de jardins principaux. Cela s'est traduit par une réduction sensible dans le paysage fluvial et public un accès visuel au lac Saint-Louis, l'un des éléments distinctifs de l'île de Montréal.

Lovely house but the aluminium window in the roof and steel roof ruin it a tad.. Great capture though and super info, I wonder how much backhanding went on in recent days to destroy the old fences and trees etc..

It's interesting, Magik. My father's family came from Long Sioux (SP?) and had to move when the St. Lawrence went through they said. Part of their town is in the historic village there. Cool old house.
