Eaton's Ninth Floor Restaurant

==History==
Lady Eaton, the wife of the multi-millionaire owner of the Eaton's department stores, gave her interpretation of "class and style" to the major Eaton's stores. In 1925 Eaton's purchased the three story Goodwin building〔http://www.historymuseum.ca/cmc/exhibitions/cpm/catalog/cat2411e.shtml#030〕 located at 677 Saint Catherine Street West and commissioned architects Ross & MacDonald to build it up to six stories in 1927. The top three floor were added in 1930-31.〔Ross & Macdonald Architects, “General Specifications for Extensions to Store for The T. Eaton Co. Limited of Montréal,” 19 Feb. 1930, Ross & Macdonald Fonds (Canadian Centre for Architecture – Archives) 5-10.〕 On January 26, 1931 Lady Eaton opened a large art deco restaurant on the 9th floor of the building. The restaurant was designed by architect Jacques Carlu and the floor to ceiling mural at the back of the restaurant was created by his wife Natacha Carlu. It was patterned on dining hall of the transatlantic liner ''Ile de France''. The 9th floor corridor between the elevators and restaurant is also in the art deco style.
This restaurant is a registered historical site. The waitresses and loyal customers of the restaurant were the subject of a 1998 National Film Board of Canada documentary ''(Les Dames du 9e )'' (''The Ladies of the 9th'').
