Brisez la vitre open door
Earlier this year, when I marvelled at Boston’s still-functioning system of public fire alarm boxes, Kate McDonnell pointed out that Montreal once had such a system, too. Unlike Boston, though, Montreal removed all of its boxes, but one still stands outside the firefighters’ museum at Laurier and St. Laurent. Naturally enough, it’s bilingual.

Yeah that caught my eye too! It’s a beautiful and well preserved station. The brass firepole goes right down the round tower on the corner.
