H. Vincent Meredith Residence

The two-and-a-half-story residence features red brick construction, stone trim, conical tower, steep hipped roof, dormers, and tall chimneys at 1110 des Pins Avenue West.

Built in 1896 for Andrew Allen of Allen Line Steamship Company, the house later served as home to Sir Vincent Meredith, president of Bank of Montreal.

The residence stands as an example of Queen Anne Revival architecture, reflecting the preferences of Montreal's financial elite in the late nineteenth century.

McGill University acquired the building, which now functions as the McGill Centre for Medicine, Ethics and Law after restoration from a 1990 fire.

The mansion combines plain wall surfaces with decorative brickwork at eave level, featuring Venetian windows and original interior decorations from the 1890s period.
