History and architecture: a heritage to preserve in Rosemont
Founded in the early 20th century, Rosemont grew around the Canadian Pacific Railway’s Angus mills, attracting many workers and their families. This working-class past has shaped its urban landscape, characterized by streets lined with mature trees and architecture with diverse influences. The neighborhood is particularly famous for its “shoebox” houses, small, single-story residences with flat roofs, which lend a unique character to several streets.
Today, the borough emphasizes preserving this heritage, while encouraging renovation projects that combine modernity with respect for original architectural elements. This provides an opportunity to transform these small houses into modern living spaces while retaining their symbolic charm.
