110 Notre-Dame Street West | Montréal
Quebec, Canada
Located in the center of the historical district of Montreal, actual Notre-Dame Church is the second one of the same name in the city; the first one was located just beside and was destroyed to make room for this one, a true act of power from Sulpicians of this time. The construction of this church was a response to the new Saint-Jacques Cathedral. This also explains the church size, which was able to contain all the faithful of Notre-Dame catholic parish, in order to avoid parish sub-division.
The church has been for a long time the tallest building in the city of Montreal before being outrange by the New York Life Insurance building located the other site of the street, east side of the Place d'Armes.
