Caserne Létourneux, Fire station and training ground in Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, Canada.
The stone building includes a prominent tower that was originally designed for drying fire hoses and features horizontal lines with pilasters and columns.
Constructed in 1914 and officially opened in 1915, the station operated as fire station No. 1 until 1961, then served as police station No. 6 until 1982.
The structure represents early 20th-century municipal architecture and maintains its status in the Quebec Cultural Heritage Directory as part of Site patrimonial de l'Ancienne-Cité-de-Maisonneuve.
The facility now functions as a professional soccer training center with four fields, including two natural grass surfaces and two synthetic turf areas for year-round use.
Real Madrid and Chelsea FC selected this former fire station as their training base during North American tours, following its transformation into a soccer facility.
