Beside a railroad, the Terrasses Knox, cannot negate the industrial past of the neighbourhood. A neighbourhood who, during more than a century, lived at the beat of the constant comings and goings of the Lachine Canal’s industrial activities. Today, a lot more peaceful, the South-West urbain district is rich in history and patrimony. We just have to think about the Atwater Market, the Georges Vanier or St-Gabriel libraries and the Corona Theatre to understand that the patrimony interest is a major aspect in the revitlisation of the neighbourhood and the preservation of his history.
