Be Lambic or Green

On 17th July 2000, we moved into our new condo, situated on the south bank of the Lachine Canal close to downtown Montreal. The building is an old ribbon factory, which was renovated and converted to condos about 11 years ago. We are on the ground floor, facing the canal, with views out to the downtown skyline.

Outside

These are some photos taken outside the building and in the surrounding area. The canal is being worked on at the moment, a federal and provincially funded project to restore the canal and open it up again for recreational boating, hence the signs of construction in some of these photos:

• A view along the canal
• A small countrified offshoot from the canal
• The green bridge outside our building
• Atwater market, our local grocery provider
• A view of our building from across the canal
• The entrance to our building

Here are pictures from Xmas 2002, after we had the place painted white:

The following pictures were taken when we were first looking at the place, so all the furniture and art seen in them belongs to the previous owner.

• The dining/computer area

• The only internal wall
• The bedroom
• The bathroom
