Northern Deco: Art Deco Architecture in Montreal
Northern Deco: Art Deco Architecture in Montreal is the first foundational work dedicated to Canadian Art Deco. Author Sandra Cohen-Rose illuminates a fascinating, forgotten era, showcasing how Montreal architects blended futuristic geometric patterns with uniquely Canadian motifs like beavers and maple leaves. From the sleek lines of the Aldred Building to the opulent interiors of Eaton’s 9th Floor, this beautifully illustrated volume is an essential guide to the 'Northern' style that defines Montreal’s interwar spirit.
