Statue park on Sherbrooke: did it exist?

   Did I imagine one of the neatest places from my early childhood?
   Was the statue park next to the Chateau Versailles Hotel on Sherbrooke just something I dreamed up?
   Because I've never heard anybody else ever mention it and when I ask, nobody knows.
  Compounding my irritation at the loss of this highly-amazing little square full of statues that one stood in what's now the hotel parking lot is that I just get blank stares when I mention it.
   In fact nobody anywhere remembers the idyllic little artistic square that I recall from my youth.
The square would have looked something like this
   My limited attempts to find an old photo showcasing this really neat place that so enthralled me as a small child have also proven fruitless.
   The Villeneuve family long owned the hotel and my attempts to ask them about it were answered with a shrug. So maybe I just imagined the whole thing.
    Anybody else remember it?
   As a kid it was up there with cannons in Westmount Park and the oratory as some of the more spectacular things to see around town.
   Anybody?
