Acquired at the above sale by the present owner.
Our Pine Avenue looking toward Peel Street of 1961 shows Little’s evolution toward a style of post Impressionism and hints at one of Montreal’s iconic homes, that of Sir Hugh Allan. Just beyond that structure in the distant left is an entrance with 2 posts crowned by heads of horses, I think still remaining today. The sprawling house was given to the Royal Victoria Hospital and became their Allan Memorial Lady’s Pavillon. -
