Built in 1911 by the Yorkshire Insurance Co. the 10-storey building was occupied by the Bank of New Brunswick, and several other insurance companies, lawyers and notaries among others. In February 1923, a fire on the tenth floor caused extensive damage to the building. The Yorkshire Insurance Co. quickly restored it. However, the Yorkshire Insurance Co. went bankrupt around 1960 and the tenants remained unchanged until 1970. Subsequently, in the early 1980s, extensive renovations were undertaken. The rental building was converted into residential condos and in October 2012, the building became a heritage symbol with one unit per floor.

Being at the foot of the prestigious St-Jacques street, a few steps from the famous Notre-Dame Basilica and the fascinating Old Port. Moving to Old Montreal is the perfect opportunity to take the time to rediscover Montreal, this city of many attractions. With all the shops just a few dozen meters away, you will regain a taste for these short walks that combine the useful with the pleasant.
