Métro Charlevoix

Howdy!

Continuing the photo-essays on obscure Métro stations, today it’s Métro Charlevoix. It was my home station for about a year in the mid-eighties and at the time I hated it, because it was so deep, and being forced to take the green line one stop from Lionel-Groulx was a pain in the neck. Since then it has kind of grown on me, because I don’t have to use it two times every day. It was inaugurated on September 3, 1978. From a cursory search I can’t find any other buildings that the architects Ayotte and Bergeron built. More information about the station can be found at the STM’s website, Wikipedia and Metro de Montreal.

One thought on “Métro Charlevoix”

  1. Talking about spooky ventilation… I think the ventilation in the actual trains of the orange line is pretty spooky…

    And why is it so hot in the Concordia station?
