1919 – Williams & Wilson Building, Montreal, Canada
“This building has a frontage of 44 feet on Inspector St., running through to Montfort Street in the rear, a distance of 188 ft., and comprises four storeys and basement. The structure consists of a reinforced concrete frame of beam and slab construction with brick curtain walls. The Inspector Street facade is built up of Indiana limestone pilasters’ bonded to the concrete frame and worked up in three bays. The centre bay is 25 feet wide to provide a large “show” window on the ground floor to allow an unobstructed view of the contents. Between pilasters the entire front is built up of architectural ironwork and glass to the ceiling of the top floor, over which the limestone is arched to give the pleasing appearance shown in the illustration. The building was designed and erected under the supervision of T. Pringle & Son, Limited.”
