🚗 Des rues de Viauville qui n’ont existé que sur papier ! 📜
📖 Nous sommes en 1879 avec Hopkins, qui a déjà tracé les futures rues de ce secteur… Remarquer qu’elles ne sont pas en pointillés, mais bien dessiner comme des faits. Typique de cette époque ! La rue Viau, que l’on désigne officiellement en 1922, se nomme ici « Prince of Wales Ave. » ! En 1917, d’après Pinsoneault, elle se nommera « First Avenue » !
Entre 1897 et 1898, Charles-Théodore Viau (fondateur de Viauville) fait dresser cinq rues qui porteront des noms d’avenues de 1 à 5*. Voici la liste complète et bien plus :
➡️ Rue Vimont : en 1879, la rue n’existe évidemment pas. À l’époque, ce territoire fait partie de la Longue-Pointe. Le domaine Beaurivage sera détruit pour faire passer la rue Vimont en 1919…
➡️ Rue Saint-Clément, fictive en 1879 comme étant « Hudson Ave. », « Second Avenue » en 1917
➡️ Rue Théodore, fictive en 1879 en « Hochelaga Ave. » ?!?!?, Hein ?!?!?, « Third Avenue » en 1917
➡️ Rue Leclaire, fictive en 1879 en « Prince Arthur Ave. », « Fourth Avenue » en 1917
➡️ Rue Adam, semble être une rue à venir en 1879 avec ce « Logan », l’ouverture de la rue ou sa nouvelle dénomination se fera vers 1890…
➡️ Rue de Rouen : 1922, année d’ouverture de cette voie ou nouvelle dénomination. Anciens noms de cette voie : rue Amity, rue Forysth et rue Ernest**
➡️ Rue Hochelaga, même en 1917, elle se nommait « Girard » après l’avenue Bourbonnière vers l’est.
➡️ Les rues imaginées en 1879 dans le futur parc Maisonneuve ont réellement été entamées. La Cité-jardin du Tricentenaire devait au départ se construire là. Ces rues sont encore perceptibles avec Google Earth, le gazon y est toujours plus jaune !
➡️ Les rues imaginées en 1879 dans le futur Jardin botanique n’ont possiblement jamais vu le jour. La terre des Morgan est la dernière de ce secteur à être subdivisée en petits lots (à partir de 1929). C’est surement pour cette raison que le toponyme « Morgan » est fréquent. La côte où se trouve aujourd’hui le Stade olympique se nommait « Morgan ». Il y avait aussi un ruisseau « Morgan » dans ce coin. Je suis toujours à la recherche de renseignements sur ce ruisseau Morgan ! Si jamais !
Haha ! Toutes ces recherches pour essayer de comprendre quelle section de Viauville faisait anciennement partie de la Longue-Pointe ! Haha ! De la côte Saint-François-d’Assise-de-la-Longue-Pointe pour être plus précis ! Donc oui, le boisé Vimont est à l’origine dans la Longue-Pointe ! Haha !
️♂️ Merci infiniment à William Gaudry de l’Atelier d'histoire Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve pour l’aide précieuse ! Mais attention, ça reste des recherches en construction ! Il est fort possible qu’il y ait encore quelques coquilles ! Merci !

J’ai d’ailleurs redessiné quelques-unes de ces grandes terres de 1879 sur une carte récente, à voir ici ! www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1-Qux_fdjwao8-Tvp2lrOD7R...
A piece of public art in Bede Park this large, ceramic scroll bears a map of the city.
Being an obsessive cartography nerd I photographed around the whole thing and threw together a compilation here.
This invitation is a cute size box with a scroll. Box has golden ornate design all over in hot foil stamping. Scroll also has golden hot foil border on the edges. Golden bars and gold tassel give finishing touch.
Today the Jodo Mission of Hawaii saw the return of its hand-painted Japanese hanging scroll. At least 60 years old and the second largest such artifact in Hawaii, it was fully restored by skilled Japanese artisans under the direction of Japan Memorial Corporation's Tatsuji Maeda, who presented the restoration work to the Jodo Mission board this morning. This prized artwork will be carefully stored and only displayed in the temple maybe twice a year. I'd love to hear from anyone who knows more about these scrolls, it was certainly an education for us (and a substantial investment).
Oh well, i’ve been fascinated with this scrolling led signs, some uses all text like “Welcome to Cafe Helenas” or “Thank you! Come Again”. There are times that scrolling led signs are use to promote and tell passerby’s that hey “We are on sale” on a certain product or service.

I like these a lot more than my other attempt with this yarn. The smaller stitch count and lace pattern do a great job of obscuring the color-striping.

This church is built from squared, sandstone rubble, dressed on the west elevation and dabbed elsewhere. It is built in dressed, regular courses of stone (which seems once to have been pink but is now predominantly grey). The building consists of a two celled church with a north and south transept. It is cruiciform building, gable ended, with an octagonal tower on the southwest corner and spire above. The transepts are of two bays each, and the roof is of pitched slate (though red tiled on the spire). The tower has some interesting carved faces at the angles, and water spouts above the belfry. There is also a small octagonal tower (possibly a ventilator) in the middle of the nave roof, in slate with a domed metal top. There are small but elaborate carvings above the main door (which stands at the top of a flight of steps) and a cruciform finial above the gable. There are good, unstained windows with very wide arches, and a small stained glass window at the liturgical East end.
The entrance gable (west end) is divided in two by a horizontal string course which runs across the middle of the face. It is supported by two buttresses ,which frame the basket arches of the door and window. Each buttress has a crocketed pinnacle. There is a further buttress on the northern edge of the face, above which is cusped ogee. Above the string course is a five-light, panel-tracery window with cusped, tracery lights under a basket arch with a simple hoodmould. Below the string is an elaborate door with a hoodmould, on either side of which are blind ogees, similar to that noted above the northern buttress. A projecting string runs under both blind arches to the edges of the hoodmould. There are four stiffleaf stops on either side of the door. The hoodmould springs from the inner two stops. The door itself is recessed in three orders and has stiffleaf carving. The spandrels are decorated with foliate carving and a scroll with an inscription, which is not legible. The gable is topped by a cross, below which is a trefoil that is cut into the apex of the gable.
Each nave wall has three square-headed windows. The most westerly of these has a single light with a trefoil head, set within a basket arch. To the east of this are two larger, two-light windows with cusped, ogee heads. Below the eaves are a series of decorative red hooks, which run across the length of the wall. There is a cupola ventilator on the roofline above the windows, which is roofed in slate and copper. To the east of the transept is a porch with a Dutch gable. Below the gable is a basket arch with a simple hoodmould. There is a square-headed door within the porch and two cusped lights.
The east elevation of the church (chancel end) is largely obscured by the hall. Behind the hall the gabled Scottish slate roofs of the chancel and nave are visible. Both have decorative ceramic ridge tiles. The north elevation is essentially a mirror of the south. There is an apsidal extension on the northwest corner, which is roofed in Scottish slate and has a copper finial and ceramic ridge tiles. A string course runs around the apse and joins up with the western elevation. It has a single square-headed window with a trefoil light.
The south transept is supported in the centre of the south elevation by a buttress, which divides two windows set in four centred arches. Both have three-light, panel tracery with cusped, tracery lights. One of the main lights in each window is blocked. There are ceramic ridge tiles along the roofline.
The North transept is a mirror of the south, but lacks a central buttress. It has two windows set in four centred arches. Both have three-light, panel tracery with cusped, tracery lights. There are ceramic ridge tiles along the roofline.
A scroll card designed in the form of a Royal Letter, this card has a single sheet stuck around golden design bars, the sheet has a multi-colored image showing a traditional Mughal period mehrab and Jharokha. This comes in a multicolored box, which holds the card and a loose 3-fold insert to print on additional text.

The Dead Sea Scrolls are a collection of 972 texts from the Hebrew Bible and extra-biblical documents found between 1947 and 1956 on the northwest shore of the Dead Sea, from which they derive their name. They were specifically located at Khirbet Qumran in what was then the British Mandate for Palestine, now the West Bank.

My grandfathers violin/fiddle. It had belonged to my great grandfather, until his death. It hasnt been played in 40 years or so. It was dated from 1597, made in germany. I did a little research on it, and found that its maker had died of the plague in the 1620's. However it is likely that this is a replica made in the mid 1800's. It would have to be examined by a proffesional to confirm its actual origin. All I can say for sure, is that has been in my family for at least 90 years, and played many a hoe down in its day!
