Atwater Market

Located in St-Henri, near Lachine Canal linear park, Atwater market is accessible by metro (Linonel-Groulx), bus, or private car (a number of parking lots at its proximity). It's one of the few remaining markets of Montreal. Built in 1933, in the middle of the Great Depression, Atwater Market provided working opportunity to hundreds of unemployed people. At a cost of $1 million (in 1933), this long and imposing building replaced the old St-Antoine Market. It was equipped with central refrigeration system and installations permitting use of mechanical instruments, at that time, it was considered by many as a "very modern" facility and the "most beautiful" building of its kind in Montreal.
During the Second World War, the Canadian Army used this facility to store meat for our over-sea soldiers, and part of it was used as training camp for new recruit.
It reminds me of Pike Place Market in Seattle, I recommend this place for those visiting Montreal.
