This long-abandoned building has been razed and to Montrealers like me, it might take a bit of adjusting to get accustomed to its disappearance.
It stood at Bridge and Wellington for a very long time and was known as the spot which housed the CNR Local Freight Office building and the Yardmasters Office and the Canada Customs and CNR Cartage.
It was part of a once-busy strip and sat adjacent to Robin Hood Flour Mill, Maple Leaf Milling, Montreal Stock Yard and Goose Village just a two minute walk away.
In recent days, local subsidized housing protesters made a big stink about a condo advertisement that had been placed upon its wall, as it apparently is against the rules to advertise a condo project on anything other than the actual construction site.
I was unable to get a photo of the now strangely-naked spot when I rolled by this afternoon but I'll endeavour to do just that forthwith, but if anybody passes by and feels inclined to send me a pic, pls pass it along to me at the megaforce on the gmail.
