Bonsecours Market - Marché Bonsecours was built in 1847 because of an increasing need of a central market. The building was designed by William Footner and is recognized as the one of the ten major architectural achievements in Canada.

Marché Bonsecours was designed in Neo-Classical style with colonnade and a silver dome. The majestic building faces Saint Lawrence River. Marché Bonsecours was a home of City Hall before it moved to its new building at Place Jacques-Cartier. The market was abandoned around the early 1960’s and today it houses government offices, exhibition center and is also the headquarters of the Institute of Design Montréal and the Craft Council of Québec.
