Bio: Michael Walsh is a long-time Westmount resident. He is happily retired from nearly four decades in the field of higher education technology. A “professional student” by nature, his academic training, and publishing, include degrees in statistical methodology, mycology and animal psychology. During this period, he was also an officer in the Canadian Armed Forces. Prior to moving to Montreal, he was contracted by the Ontario Ministry of Education evaluating bilingual primary and secondary school programs. Today, he enjoys spending time with his (huge) Saint Bernard while discovering the city’s past and sharing stories of the majestic trees that grace the parks and street.

I was wondering if you happen to know the history of 333 Metcalfe, near Westmount Park… If your dog walk ever takes you that way!

My great grandfather was the architect for the Bristol Myer building that you posted about, as well as a couple of other Westmount buildings. I haven’t been able to locate the one on Dorchester.
