Saint Henri des tanneries
Why Saint Henri ?
Saint-Henri is a neighborhood that holds a special place in my heart. Though I lived in nearby Little Burgundy, my family and I often walked its streets — drawn by its charm, its parks, and its quiet strength. Over the years, this place has come to feel deeply familiar. I return often, guided by a quiet sense of loyalty, to walk its paths and photograph its soul.
Through my images, I seek to capture the unique spirit of Saint-Henri—its visible and hidden traces, its worn textures, the silent stories whispered by its walls. True to my artistic approach, I see in Saint-Henri a living witness of our shared heritage: fragile, yet deeply rooted in the fabric of urban memory.
These three images offer a first look at the many faces of Saint-Henri — its civic pride, everyday life, and industrial past — all still quietly present in its streets.
Notre-Dame Street, Saint-Henri
Modest architecture, lasting presence. An ordinary scene, yet a silent witness to the everyday life and ongoing transformation of the neighbourhood.
Former factory, Walker Street
This industrial building, with its sober and solid lines, speaks of a working-class past now reimagined. Converted into office space, it embodies the transformation of heritage—balancing preservation and renewal.
Fire Station No. 23, Place Saint-Henri
An emblem of civic pride and Art Deco elegance. Still in service, this historic fire station reminds us that heritage can be both functional and monumental.

Beneath the clear sky, a façade stands — proud and carefully crafted. The scalloped roof tiles, the suspended balcony, the carved woodwork still whisper of another era’s attention to detail. A quiet elegance, patiently enduring.
