Joseph Binette Apartment House([1908-9]) 2060 Clark Street [456 Saint-Charles Borromée], Montreal, QC, Canada Residential, Apartment [basement, 3 floors, 6 flats]; brick; wall bearing Client: Joseph Binette Description: The Maxwells designed many individual houses but very few apartment houses. Other than the Maxwelton (502) on Sherbrooke Street and a building for contractor John Quinlan and Co. (461) in Westmount, this modest, six-apartment complex is somewhat unique. Joseph Binette was a contractor who took part in the erection of many houses and buildings designed by the Maxwell firm. He had this apartment house built on a site adjacent to the Bromsgrove Guild of Canada Ltd. (304) lumber yard and workshops on Clark Street. Each of the three floors has two efficient flats of six rooms, including parlour, dining room, three bedrooms and a bathroom. The parlour and the master bedrooms face the street while the other rooms overlook the courtyard. The main façade on Clark Street is a modest rendition of Neo-Georgian features in red brick. This house, located just north of Place Albert-Duquesne, survives today but is in a bad shape. The flats have been subdivided and a large building to the north overshadows the house and blocks the view of the courtyard. Holdings: Apartment (basement, 3 floors, 6 flats); brick; wall bearing | |
