Whether you know Montreal or you do not \u2013 walking along a heritage trail<\/strong><\/a> is a great way to discover a city and see familiar places with new eyes. I am Anja Borck, the director of the Mus\u00e9e des ondes Emile Berliner<\/a><\/strong>, and I was curious to explore the actual sites of Montreal\u2019s radio past by following this heritage trail. I took some photos of all the mentioned locations in Circuit 2<\/a><\/strong> and wanted to share them. You can get an idea of the experience and, if you cannot make the trip to Montreal, you can still follow the trail online. I had a great time and I learned a lot thanks to Alain Dufour\u2019s great research.<\/p>\n

The images were taken on May 16th 2020. The tour took me 2 hours by bike, including some long stops. On foot it takes about 3 hours; 3 hours and 45 minutes if you do a round trip. Due to the coronavirus crisis I decided to drive with the car to point H, the RCA Victor building, where street parking is no issue during weekends.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"Don't\n\t\tDon’t forget to bring your sunglasses, your mask and some water.\n\t

I took my bike from there. You can find rental Bixi bikes<\/a> <\/strong>at the nearby Saint Henri Metro Station if you don\u2019t have your own. The round tour adds 3.5 kilometers to the circuit. Visitors who would like to use public transportation could take the Metro to Peel Station, the closest metro stop to the beginning of the circuit. For Circuit 2 I used my smartphone as my main navigation tool. I also had a paper printout of the circuit guide with me, which I like because the text is large enough that I did not need my reading glasses.<\/p>\n

This circuit is outside the popular Old Montreal area. You will find much less information on the sites online. For more detailed information, I relied on the \u201cR\u00e9pertoire d\u2019architecture traditionnelle sur le territoire de la communaut\u00e9 urbaine de Montr\u00e9al \u2013 Architecture Industrielle\u201d which is available in some libraries.<\/p>\n

When you go, be advised that Montreal is in major construction mode. Take a map with you or your smartphone should you need to take a detour. The printout PDF map<\/a><\/strong> is a good tool for general orientation, but not sufficient for people unfamiliar with the city. During my tour on a Saturday, social distancing was no issue. This circuit from A to H is easy, with some longer down-hills. As a round trip, you add a steeper up-hill to the trip. From my starting point at Location H, I followed Saint Jacques street heading East and turned left on Peel to get to point A. The circuit works well on a bike or with a stroller as long as you do not plan to visit the inside of buildings, where you will often find stairs. By bike, you are going short stretches against one-way streets. Be advised that some buildings are not open to the public during the weekends.<\/p>\n

I wish you, online or on the street of Montreal, a great time with Montreal\u2019s Radio Pioneers.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPlan your own walk of the heritage trail!\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Today, one of Montreal\u2019s shopping temples took over the old Mount Royal Hotel<\/a><\/strong>. I recommend a visit inside (currently closed, due to the pandemic). It gives a good idea of the beauty the hotel once displayed.<\/p>\n

The King\u2019s Hall Building, built in 1933, is a place that you could easily overlook. Disappointingly, it does not show any traces of the explosion from 1948 on the outside. The severe grit pattern of the fa\u00e7ade displays very clearly the construction method which may also explain why an explosion did not damage the structure. The strong reinforced concrete frame structure would have prevented the spread of fire and the windows blew out to release the pressure of the explosion. <\/p>\n

Circuit 2 : Location C<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

With a steep double stair entrance, the building is less inviting than one with direct street access. The precisely cut sandstone of this 1934 building was a conservative choice and added prestige to the mansion. The Canadian Military put clearly some distance between their organization and the activities on the street. A bit of a strange perspective for a radio station.<\/p>\n

Quite different to the two previous buildings, 1425 Ren\u00e9-L\u00e9vesque West uses brick at the exterior. Here, the connection to radio history is what makes this building from 1930 outstanding, not its physical appearance. The hotel offered many small spaces and some larger halls, serving the needs of the CBC radio studios well.<\/p>\n

I did not expect to see the Bell Telephone Company of Canada, later part of Northern Electric building in the state that I found it today. Alexander Graham Bell produced telephones here for the Canadian market in the late 19th century. Emile Berliner started his Canadian gramophone and recording production on the third floor, giving birth to this country’s music industry. Now, all that is left is the front fa\u00e7ade. Built before 1890 and modified in 1897, Northern Electric moved to a new location on Guy Street in 1906. A shoe manufactory took over the place.<\/p>\n

Circuit 2 : Location F<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

More pleasant was to venture into the next Northern Electric place. You need to go all around the spread-out complex to the south side to find a small entrance to a vast courtyard. The atmosphere of busy early 20th century factory production seems to hang still in the air. At a nervous pace, the factory grew constantly to keep up with the demand for telephone and radio parts. And still, always more space was needed.<\/p>\n

Apparently, the largest brick building in North America, this colossal structure with a footprint of 21 562 square meters (232 091 sq\/ft) survived the conversion from factory to multi-purpose office building relatively intact. On weekdays, do not miss going inside to experience its enormous volume. The north fa\u00e7ade once had three sheds covering tracks to allow train access for the large volumes of shipments.<\/p>\n

Also, the Berliner Gramophone Company enjoyed having its own train tracks serving the property, in this case, one track was sufficient. Working here almost every day makes me forget that it is also impressively large and orientation can be confusing. From the corner of St. Antoine and Lacasse street, you see the 1920 part of the complex. While brick is used, the core is a visible concrete frame. Do not miss checking out the Mus\u00e9e des ondes Emile Berliner<\/a>. You will add an hour or a bit more to your tour, but you will not regret the visit.<\/p>\n

Les visiteurs souhaitant utiliser les transports en commun peuvent prendre le m\u00e9tro jusqu’\u00e0 la station Peel, la plus proche du d\u00e9but du circuit. Pour le Circuit 2, j’ai utilis\u00e9 mon t\u00e9l\u00e9phone intelligent comme principal outil de navigation.
