Louis Joseph Forget House<\/h3>\n

1195 Sherbrooke Street W<\/a><\/p>\n

Work of renowned Montreal architects Edward and W. S. Maxwell, who also conceived the qui Montreal\u2019s Museum of Fine Arts in 1911 and an example of bourgeois architecture at the end of the 19th century, which reflects the wellness of the Golden Square Mile by a variety of styles and elaborate ornamentation. Its owner, Louis-Joseph Forget<\/a>, is one of the rare francophones in the predominantly English-speaking environment of the Golden Square Mile. Successful broker and financier, he was elected president of Montreal\u2019s stock exchange in 1895.

James-Reid-Wilson House<\/h3>\n

1201 Sherbrooke Street W<\/a><\/p>\n

The James-Reid-Wilson House<\/a> is now occupied and fairly well maintained. It is one of the rare houses of Sherbrooke street which bear witness to history from Montreal\u2019s XIXth century that citizens and visitors should remember. Many bankers once occupied the house, followed by students, a distillery and then a wine merchant. It has on the side of Drummond Street, the only original window.<\/p>\n

The Mount Royal Club<\/h3>\n

1175 Sherbrooke Street W<\/a><\/p>\n

The Club Mont-Royal<\/a> is one of the oldest private clubs of the city of Montreal. It was founded on September 23, 1899 by old members of . Club St-James who disagreed with the overly liberal atmosphere that reigned there. The dissidents then founded a new, more selective club reserved for the Montreal upper bourgeoisie. Among the members of this closed circle, we find Baron Strathcona and Mount Royal, Donald A. Smith<\/a>, George A. Drummond<\/a>, Hugh M. Allan<\/a>, Richard B. Angus<\/a> and Louis-Joseph Forget<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
