Hope Gate, July 3, 1829
Located at the end of Sainte-Famille Street, Hope Gate had an impressive guardhouse. Its strategic location allowed soldiers to keep watch over De la Canoterie Street. Built around 1786 under British rule, it was demolished around 1873 after the departure of English military troops. This image also offers a glimpse of Sainte-Famille Street as it was around 1829.
