Montreal abandoned buildings

Some years ago Montreal, the city where I grew up, went through some bleak economic times. Businesses failed, people lost jobs and fled to Toronto. Property values plummeted. It seems to be regaining its panache and is once again a great place to visit. These photos of Montreal abandoned buildings give us a view of places we definitely would not go out of our way to see on a visit there. Here is a photo of Dominion Engineering in Lachine where my mother worked before she was married. Some years later, after her divorce, she moved with my sisters and me to a seedy apartment just a block away from this building.
