Villa Maria, Private school in Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, Canada.

The two-story stone building features Neo-Palladian architecture with symmetrical facades, classical columns, and ornamental details on Décarie Boulevard in Montreal.

Built in 1803 for judge James Monk, the residence served as home to three Governors General of Canada from 1844 to 1849 when Montreal was the capital.

The Congrégation de Notre-Dame established Villa Maria as a bilingual boarding school for girls in 1854, marking a shift from governmental to educational purposes.

The building includes rubble stone masonry, wooden openings, metal roofing materials, and a landscaped lot that maintains its historical architectural features.

The structure contains preserved interior elements reflecting English style from the mid-19th century, documenting both governmental and educational phases of Canadian history.
