Windsor Station

This guide to Windsor Station in Montreal traces the Romanesque fortress Canadian Pacific president William Van Horne built starting in 1889, after architect Bruce Price submitted four designs before the railway's treasurer approved one. It follows the tower additions raised over the next three decades and the 1990s dispute with Molson over its new hockey arena, when Molson refused to raise the arena's foundations to keep the tracks running through. Stand under the soot-stained steel-and-glass roof built for smoke and steam, and listen for how quiet it is now.
