Introduction
This tour will visit the buildings and spaces of
the present day town of St-Henri but images
of the past will creep in along the way.
Walking through the town it will be easy to
absorb what life was like to live here. StHenri often gets viewed as a rough poor
neighbourhood but it perhaps might be
viewed with a rich history.

Rolland Tanners
These houses dated in the middle of the 19th
century made up the Village of Tanners at the
foot of the Glen. The Glen was the point where
the St-Jacques cliffs meet at the Glen (Glen
Road) joining St-Henri to Westmount. Made up
of approximately 11 houses these Tanners began
the St-Henri Town that exists today.
