Restoration and heritage renovation of the Maison Smith
Work is in progress to preserve and renovate the Maison Smith, a heritage building accessed by thousands of people every year for a variety of services.
The Maison Smith was built in 1858 as a vacation home for Mr. Hosea Ballou Smith, a wealthy merchant. It carries significant historical and architectural value, as it is the only remaining building dating before the creation of the Parc du Mont-Royal, in 1876.
When?
February 2025 to January 2026
Where?
At the Maison Smith, including sections of the adjacent parking lot.
What?
- Renovation of the basement washrooms and upgrading of the ground-floor washroom for universal accessibility purposes
- Replacement of the main entrance portico and of the French drain
- Waterproofing of the foundation wall
- Improvement of the basement drainage system
Since the building will remain closed for the duration of the renovation work, universally accessible temporary lavatories will be available in the parking lot until completion to accommodate park users.
Why?
- To preserve the heritage
- To improve stormwater management
- To provide a better park reception experience by modernizing the washrooms and improving the building’s universal accessibility
