Description

224 pages. Index. Select bibliography. Reference notes. "Like Beacon Hill in Boston and Nob Hill in San Francisco, Montreal's Square Mile was a golden enclave for the rich and powerful in the halcyon days before income tax, a small geographic area whose inhabitants controlled two thirds of the nation's wealth. The Square Mile was the cradle of Canada's commercial aristocracy home of the McGills and McTavishes (furs), Molsons (beer), Redpaths (sugar), Ogilvies (flour), and scores of families that came after them to live on the elm-shaded streets in the shadow of Mount Royal." - from dust jacket. Wonderful and abundant black and white archival photographs. Usual library markings. Average wear. Binding sound. A solid reference copy. Book
