Place-Saint-Henri is a station on the Orange Line of the Montreal Metro rapid transit system, operated by the Société de transport de Montréal (STM). It is located in the Saint-Henri area of the borough of Le Sud-Ouest in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.〔(Place-Saint-Henri Metro Station )〕 The station opened on April 28, 1980, as the western terminus of the first extension of the Orange Line. It thus took over from Bonaventure station as terminus, and remained so until the extension to Snowdon in 1981. == Overview == The station is a normal side platform station, connected by long stairwells to a large mezzanine. The station has three accesses; one is a conventional access within a bus loop, while the other two are open-air staircases linked to an underground gallery connected to the mezzanine. These make Place-Saint-Henri one of the only three stations in Montreal to have uncovered accesses (with Bonaventure and Square-Victoria-OACI stations). The station was designed by Julien Hébert and Jean-Louis Lalonde. It originally contained two artworks: a mural by Hébert in the mezzanine, entitled ''Bonheur d'occasion'', featuring the title of the famous book by Gabrielle Roy (in English called ''The Tin Flute''), set in the neighbourhood; and a motorized mobile sculpture by Jacques de Tonnancour suspended in the mezzanine and over the platforms. A statue of Jacques Cartier by Joseph-Arthur Vincent, created in 1896, was moved to the station and placed in a light shaft over the Côte-Vertu platform. It had formerly crowned a fountain in a nearby park, but was removed, moved to the station, and replaced with a copy after having crumbled due to exposure. 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「Place-Saint-Henri (Montreal Metro)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
