The Ottawa Hotel in Montreal, Quebec, Canada was built in 1845 at 50 St. James Street by George Hall. It is a late 19th Century example of an attempt to build a skyscraper. Hall had previously owned a hotel by the same name located at the corner of McGill and St. Maurice Streets from at least 1842.〔The Lovell's City Directory of 1842/23 runs an ad on page 215 stating "Ottawa Hotel by George Hall corner McGill and St. Maurice Streets."〕 The Lovell's City Directories of 1844/45 through to 1850 lists the two Ottawa Hotels as: Ottawa Hotel (old,) (F.P. Levine,) McGill Street and Ottawa Hotel (new,) (George Hall,) 50 Great St. James Street. The 1850 Lovell's listing also has an advertisement〔Lovell's City Directory 1850, page 310〕 which states: The Lovell's Directories after 1852 list only the one Ottawa Hotel, on Great St. James Street. (Great St. James Street ran from Place d'Armes west to McGill Street while Little St. James Street ran east from Place d'Armes to St. Gabriel Street) The 1852 Lovell's listing also has a full page advertisement〔Lovell's City Directory 1852, page 305〕 which states: Different ads run in the Lovell's Directories between 1855/56 and 1857/58 also add that: The Ottawa Hotel continued in operation until about 1881/82 after which it was converted into stores and offices. For example, the Euard & MacDonald Hardware occupied space in the Ottawa Hotel from 1882/83. The neo-classical hotel is still home to offices and stores today. ==See also== *Old Montreal 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ottawa Hotel, Montreal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
