Édifice Jacques-Viger, Heritage architectural ensemble in Old Montreal, Canada

The Jacques-Viger building exhibits château-style architecture with multiple floors housing offices, residential units, and commercial spaces near Viger Square.

Built between 1896 and 1898 by architect Bruce Price, the structure initially served as both a Canadian Pacific Railway station and hotel until 1935.

The building reflects the French Canadian influence in Montreal's development, contrasting with the anglophone-oriented Windsor Hotel in the western part of the city.

Located at 815 Berri Street and 700 Saint-Antoine Street East, the building underwent a 250-million-dollar renovation to accommodate modern businesses and residential spaces.

The structure represents the only combined railway station and hotel building constructed in Canada, following a model common in the United Kingdom.
