Saint-Jacques Street and The Royal Bank

Culture, arts and heritage Leisure activities Architecture Outdoor Old Montreal and Old Port

This street was also known as Canada’s “Wall Street”. Its heyday in the 1920s is reflected in the Royal Bank’s former head office at 360 Saint-Jacques Street, erected in 1928, next to the attractive Molson Bank, built in 1866. With 23 floors, it was, at the time of its construction, the tallest building in the British Empire.
