Monument National
Construit par l'Association Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Montréal, et inauguré le 24 juin 1893, ce centre d'activités théâtrales, politiques et éducatives a joué un rôle capital dans la promotion de la langue et de la culture françaises en Amérique du Nord. Son théâtre de quelque 1400 places fut également le haut lieu du théâtre yiddish au Canada entre 1915 et 1957. Oeuvre éclectique des architectes Perrault, Mesnard et Venne, le Monument National fut restauré en 1993, et, depuis 1971, il est occupé par l'École nationale de théâtre du Canada.
