VINCENT AND ISABELLA MEREDITH HOUSE Constructed in the 1890s and expanded in 1914, this striking example of the Queen Anne Revival Style is representative of the large mansions built by Montréal’s financial elite in the Golden Square Mile. Architects Edward and William Maxwell created a fanciful, castle-like composition featuring red brick, stone trim, and primarily Romanesque stylistic references. Sir Henry Vincent Meredith, later president of the Bank of Montreal, lived here with his wife, Isabella Allan, from 1906 until his death in 1929. Lady Meredith bequeathed the house to the Royal Victoria Hospital in 1941. It was later acquired by McGill University.

MAISON VINCENT ET ISABELLA MEREDITH Bâti au cours des années 1890 et agrandi en 1914, ce remarquable modèle d’architecture néo-Queen Anne est un exemple typique des demeures de l’élite financière montréalaise du Mille carré doré. Les architectes Edward et William Maxwell en font une composition fantaisiste de style Château, dotée de murs de brique rouge, d’ornements en pierre et de références stylistiques principalement romanes. Sir Henry Vincent Meredith, président de la Banque de Montréal, y habite avec son épouse, Isabella Allan, de 1906 à sa mort en 1929. La maison est léguée par Lady Meredith à l’Hôpital Royal Victoria en 1941 puis acquise par l’Université McGill.
