Grey Nuns' Hospital, Former hospital and national historic site in Old Montreal, Canada.
The three-story stone building at 138 Saint-Pierre Street features tall casement windows, gable roofs, and traditional French Canadian architectural elements.
Established in 1747, the hospital operated under the Sisters of Charity until 1871, when they moved their medical services to a new location.
The Grey Nuns provided medical care and support to Montreal residents regardless of social status, establishing new standards for healthcare accessibility.
The structure includes solid masonry construction, multiple lateral additions, and a central rear wing designed to maximize space for patient care.
The site represents the only remaining structure from the original hospital complex, preserving elements of 18th-century functional design principles.
