The city's photographic archives reveal the chaos if a city in mid-transformation. If you think today's construction woes are bad, you NEED to see this photo series! Montreal in 1965 was mushrooming with new buildings and construction sites. It was also a bustling place, full of activities. Thanks to the Montreal Archives, we can show you what the city looked like before the Metro was opened, before Expo 67, before the Olympics.
