The monument to Wolfe and Montcalm on Des Carrières Street in Lower Canada
A tribute to the generals Wolfe and Montcalm, this commemorative monument was erected in 1828 by Governor Lord Dalhousie. It was demolished in 1869, however, to make way for a new obelisk. This newer war memorial is located on Des Carrières Street, a historic street traced in 1689 where the Mont-Carmel quarries once lay.
