Si vous avez lu certains journaux samedi matin, une des grandes manchettes \u00e9tait que Pauline Marois et son \u00e9poux ont achet\u00e9 un condo luxueux dans le Vieux-Montr\u00e9al. Ce genre de nouvelle est tellement inutile et est une preuve de sensationnalisme. Premi\u00e8re Ministre ou non, ils ont bien le droit de faire ce qu’ils veulent avec leur argent, tant et aussi longtemps que le mien n’est pas touch\u00e9. Ceci \u00e9tant dit, apr\u00e8s avoir vendu leur villa de l’ouest de l’\u00eele, ils pouvaient bien se payer ce petit bijoux et honn\u00eatement j’aurais fait pareil.<\/p>\n

\u00c0 la lecture de ce torchon de QMI, \u00e7a m’a donn\u00e9 l’id\u00e9e de faire quelques recherches sur l’\u00e9difice lui-m\u00eame qui semblait beaucoup plus int\u00e9ressant. Fond\u00e9e en 1847, La Compagnie d’Assurance Vie du Canada bas\u00e9 en Ontario avec des bureaux dans le centre n\u00e9vralgique financier du Canada situ\u00e9 au 182 St-James d\u00e9m\u00e9nage ces bureaux Montr\u00e9alais dans un nouvel \u00e9difice de la rue St-James (aujourd’hui St-Jacques) commissionn\u00e9 \u00e0 l’architecte Richard Waite. Nous connaissons Waite pour un autre \u00e9difice important du Vieux, soit l’\u00c9difice du Grand-Tronc<\/a> maintenant connus sous le nom d’\u00e9difice G\u00e9rald-Godin qui abrite le Minist\u00e8re de l’Immigration et des Communaut\u00e9s culturelles du Qu\u00e9bec rue McGill. \u00c0 la fin de sa construction en 1895 l’\u00e9difice de la Canada-Life est le premier b\u00e2timent \u00e0 structure d’acier de huit \u00e9tages au Canada.<\/p>\n

\n\"\u00c9difice\n<\/div>\n

De Style n\u00e9o-renaissance le gratte-ciel (\u00e0 l’\u00e9poque) de pierres contient des ornements de l’artiste-sculpteur britannique devenue Montr\u00e9alais Henry Beaumont (1853-1910). Nous pouvons voir des oeuvres architecturales de Beaumont dans les \u00e9difices de la New-York Life sur la Place d’Armes et sur le vieil \u00e9difice Sun Life de la rue Notre-Dame. La d\u00e9coration est reconnue entre autres pour les caract\u00e9ristiques du d\u00e9cor int\u00e9rieur, dont l’entr\u00e9e aux marches et aux lambris en marbre ainsi que l’aileron sculpt\u00e9 en pierre noire et peint en blanc servant de garde-corps, les mosa\u00efques des planchers, la chute \u00e0 courrier en bronze, la balustrade en fer forg\u00e9, les boiseries en acajou notamment les lambris et les chambranles avec leurs bas-reliefs repr\u00e9sentant des figurines ainsi que la quincaillerie d’origine.<\/p>\n

Les bureaux de la Canada-Life s’installent donc au deuxi\u00e8me \u00e9tages tandis que le rez-de-chauss\u00e9 h\u00e9berge le si\u00e8ge social de la Banque Canadienne de Commerce plus connus depuis 1961 sous l’appellation de CIBC. L’\u00e9difice change de mains en 1954 et est vendu \u00e0 une autre compagnie d’assurance qui mettra fin \u00e0 89 ans de r\u00e9sidence d’assureurs dans ces murs quand elle le quittera en 1984. <\/p>\n

L’\u00e9difice est transform\u00e9 par Remdev<\/a> en r\u00e9sidences au d\u00e9but des ann\u00e9es 2000. Renomm\u00e9 Le Saint-R\u00e9gis en honneur de R\u00e9gis Labeaume (pas vrai \u00e7a!). Pour sa protection durant les travaux, le 275 St-Jacques, coin St-Pierre est class\u00e9 monument historique par le Minist\u00e8re de la Culture et des Communications en septembre 2002. <\/p>\n

Voici l’ironie de toute cette histoire de l’\u00e9difice Canada-Life\/Le St-r\u00e9gis. La Compagnie d’Assurance Vie du Canada existe toujours aujourd’hui, une filiale de Great West Life, propri\u00e9t\u00e9 de Power Corporation, dont le PDG, M. Paul Desmarais est un des adversaires notoires de l’ind\u00e9pendance du Qu\u00e9bec. La Boucle est maintenant boucl\u00e9e.<\/p>\n
