Two of your selections (not clear if they are liked) show use of the terrible white brick that was prevalent in the 1960’s: usually the province of duplexes in LaSalle and St. Leonard, some of it migrated to the centre of the city and was used on apartment houses, sometimes highrise. The material looks dirty before it is even installed, glares out between greystones and more sedate red and brown brick, and generally imparts an air of tacky mauvais goût. It also tempts the owners to use patterns and to vary the colours, as in your Plateau example. Ugh. In fairness, though, it also is distinctive of Montréal, since my travels have not uncovered any other places where white brick was used with such gusto.

They aren’t linked, but in small doses they can be entertaining.
