JMH  if you read this,.....under that link that Maggie posted,.there is a picture of the Bank of Montreal,.on Wellington btwn Church & Hickson (N side),..that was right beside the old tram building (I think) Did you ever find a shot of the original building (was tram or power co. or a power building for the trams??) Maybe Guy can find some info on that part of Wellington,,,,or some old photo's Fresco must Remember that building ,he seems to Remember all the routes & stops of Montreal transit stuff.................             Thanks Again Maggie ,              have fun & Remmember Verdun

Here's an old shot of aome Montreal area trams /bus's                    I know we've seen it before,.but it's a good  picture I thought ,so I thought a return appearance was in order.......hahahaha                                       Have fun & Remember Verdun

Maggie and Les ! I have forgotten our other challenge still not resolved: a photo of the laughing cow in front of Elmhurst Dairy on Upper Lachine Road. JM

No your right JMH,..but I have not forgotten our five year long quest to find a picture of those 3d laughing cows heads at the old Elmhurst Dairy ( although I think it was Sealtest at the time (just in the old Elmhurst Dairy bldg......)   I am sure some one will come across that old sign one day,..............hahahahah

I was disappointed that the "Old Stone House" did not appear in their "Old Homes" collection. In fact none of the 100+ year old homes in Verdun are there. Can anyone tell me if the old "Knights of Columbus" Manse is still on the River side of LaSalle Blvd near Willibrord? It was an impressive building that used to host many wedding parties and the one side was used as a seniors home.

Jean-Marie, Les,
I wish you guys nothing but success in your five year quest to find The Elmhurst Dairy Cows. There's a lot at 'steak' here and that's no 'bull.' I find your whole project very 'mooooving.' Fresco
