Bishop Court Apartments, Tudor Revival apartment building in Ville-Marie, Canada
Bishop Court Apartments is a three-story residential building from 1904 with three wings arranged around an interior courtyard. The structure contains eighteen separate units and stands at the corner of Bishop Street and De Maisonneuve Boulevard West.
The building was constructed in 1904 as an upscale residential project, using Scottish sandstone with polychrome work to echo 15th-century English manor houses. The provincial government recognized its architectural value with official protection status in 1976.
The building displays Tudor Revival features with Scottish sandstone that echo English manor houses, showing how early Montreal architecture drew from European styles. This expression reflects how the city aimed to impress its wealthy residents.
The building sits near public transit and lies in a central urban area with shops and services nearby. The U-shaped layout with the interior courtyard creates a quieter entrance for visitors wanting to explore the exterior and inner space.
A feature often overlooked is the polychrome work on the Scottish sandstone, which creates different color tones and sets the building apart from other neighborhood structures. This handcrafted detail shows the level of attention the original builders gave to the work.
