Answer: Some excellent eyes at the plate here. This impressive building did in deed sit at the corner of Ste. Catherine and Chomedey. At the time this pic was taken by Conrad Poirier in January, 1948, it was home to Toledo Motors (later Cooke-Toledo Motors) at 2134 Ste. Catherine West. Thanks to HaroldRo for the pic.
