Canada Malting Silos, Montreal, Industrial silos in Saint-Henri, Montreal, Canada.

The Canada Malting complex features a series of violet clay-covered silos and concrete towers standing along the Lachine Canal waterfront.

Built in 1905, the facility produced 250,000 pounds of malt annually until 1970, when the closure of Lachine Canal led to transportation issues.

The abandoned industrial structure now displays numerous graffiti artworks, with artists regularly adding new murals to its concrete walls.

The site remains closed to public access, with security fencing surrounding the perimeter of the former malting facility.

In 2005, artist Axel Mongenthaler created a light installation on the rooftop to mark the building's centennial anniversary.
