Via a random tweet, three nifty old photos of Théâtre Saint-Denis in the old days.

Sweet. That new facade is an insult to the neighbourhood.
The whole neighborhood is an insult to what it was before.
The Quartier latin is one of those areas that’s always in flux to some extent and there are bound to be more changes there soon too.
Neat shot of rue Ste-Catherine of 1929 courtesy of shorpy.com. Not sure whether the subject building has been demolished and rebuilt or just seriously refacadicized.
If you scroll down on that page there’s a current shot. I think under the new façade the building’s roughly the same shape.
Could well be the same structure. It’s hard to tell.
It it is the same structure, at least we’re living with bricks rather than siding.
