A nice set of photos from 1962.
Is it just me, or has the celebration been decidedly underwhelming so far? You’d think the CDP would have made a bigger deal out of the 50th anniversary of what’s still very much a landmark Montreal development.

Yes, I love those photos – the pure spareness of the original modern interior comes across well.

Indeed.
Here‘s the somewhat depressing companion piece to the article you linked above. Larger versions of the teenyish photos in the Gazoo’s gallery come from PVM’s web site. Click the ‘Photos’ link to download the 16 MB .zip file.
