Edmonton (Alberta, Canada). Lots of iconic buildings that existed in the 30s have since been demolished (the Edmonton Journal building [1929], the Tegler building [1912], the Arlington apartment building [1909], Edmonton Public Library's old Central Library building [1923], the old downtown post office [1910], the Canadian National Railway Station [1928], the Imperial Bank of Canada building [1907], the Merchants Bank of Canada building [1906], and so much more).
I live in Southern Cal and went to Quebec and Montreal last year. Montreal still has most of those buildings and they value their historic architecture.
I was thinking the same! So many videos make me sad that it's not like that anymore, but this video didn't make me sad, Montreal still preserves the original beauty and mix it with the new. Other cities seem to want to destroy everything for the new. Or at least in other Canadian cities, not sure how it is in US.

I am a Montrealer, my parents were 1 years old when these images were captured. Looking at the elegance of the people, I understand better how keen my dad was on dressing so well. He was a dandy. And my mom to this day dresses up nicely every time we visit her or we go out with her. Montreal was truly a word class city and it has recaptured its beauty over the past few decades after a period of neglect.
Sadly nowadays a lot of people don’t appreciate this beautiful city. The best proof would be that Montreal never has been so dirty. Its inhabitants lost their pride of their city.

I like Montreal. I will always remember being snowed in there on my 28th birthday. It was 2 weeks before Christmas and I was in town on a business trip. I couldn't leave so once I resigned myself to soloing my birthday, I opted to make the best of it and leave my hotel to get some food. It was snowing hard yet it was really quite pretty; there was no wind and it wasn't that cold out; just... well, really snowing hard. I ended up taking a horse and wagon ride through Old Montreal to pass some time as I wasn't that familiar with the city - the guide didn't even charge me when I mentioned it was my birthday so I bought us both a hot chocolate and just enjoyed the Christmas-decorated older buildings and snowy cobblestone streets. It turned out to be a lovely evening, I quite enjoyed it. I hope to visit again someday. Thanks for the video )
Truly. It's almost as you can walk through time watching these videos. everyone seemed so happy back then. I'm sure there were hard times but plenty of marvelous times.

Thank you for showcasing my city! Many of these old buildings are still standing and in use. They were obviously modernized inside several times, but have kept their external appearance over the decades since they were built, many of them are over 100 years old.
Nass, Happy New Year! Thanks for another fabulous upload. It's greatly appreciated by all your fans. This video look's to me like 1926 to early 1930's. With the cars and style of dress.
Great video, but this was from the early 1920s, not 1930s. You can tell from certain parts of the McGill University campus that were there in this remastered video, but were gone or had been changed by the late 1920s (e.g., sun roof of Dawson Hall). You can also tell from the caps and dresses of the women which were no longer in fashion by the early 1930s.
Thank you for your accuracy. I am not sure about that "Saint-James street" either, looks more like St-Jacques or Notre-Dame (old Royal Bank) when the business district was still in the old Montreal
Amazing job. The sound really connects you with the reality being shown on the footage. Fascinating to see how much of our city weve been able to keep, despite a lot of criticism that would make you think otherwise.
Je me rends compte que la couleur( et la stabilisation de l'image) aide vraiment è faire le lien, on a davantage l'impression que c'est notre monde, et non un film ou une sorte de dimension différente de la nôtre... vraiment cool
I don't know maybe somewhere has a capsule time ,to go back to the time?🤔 And go there at 1920s and more more back to past?

Its crazy that we can see the victoria bridge that clear from the mount-royal Belvedère. The fleuve St-laurent seems so empty with only one bridge this side.
Plus people forget that the city of Montreal is an island. This is where the St. Lawrence River splits and the city of Montreal is surrounded by the St. Lawrence on all sides. The northern island suburb of Montreal is the city of Laval. On the north side of Laval the branch of the St. Lawrence turns to the northwest and becomes the Ottawa River. The rest of the St. Lawrence splits Montreal and Laval in half and then flows southwest again, eventually where St. Lawrence flows into Lake Ontario and the rest of the Great Lakes. That is why when you look down on the city of Montreal from the top of Mount Royal ( a magnificent view and where the city gets its name) you can see all of these bridges that cross the river into the city.
@@RWMAirgunsmithing Yes, I apologize you are correct. The water flows out of the Great Lakes and becomes the St. Lawrence, going around Montreal, then flows northeast into the Gulf of St. Lawrence and out into the ocean.
"Colorized only for the ambiance (not historically accurate)" well of course, because of the film degradation with time, and a bunch of other factors, it's still fairly accurate, but not pinpoint pixel-perfect 100% accurate. For an almost 100 years old film, it's still great colorization.
That view from the lookout... Oh my my. I sure did not expect that. Also: RIP le Faubourg à m'lasse. I wish I could have seen it with my own eyes. Thank you for your amazing work!
For a city from the 1920s, it looks very well kept and organized, with lots of green areas. What does not convince me is the artificial coloring of these old movies. The purple "color" always predominates. Instead of putting a previous black signboard to refer to a specific place, it would be better to overprint it on the film.
I was expecting to have to mentally strain to picture what the locations look like now, but honestly all of them look pretty similar today. I've had memories in every location in this reel, from the lookoff to the bridge at LaFontaine. Nifty
That beautiful wee girl at 2.45 wondering who the guy with the camera is. If she is still with us she will probably be between 85 - 90 yrs old. Keep these treasures coming , with love from Glasgow, Scotland.
Remarkable time capsule back to the glory days of Montreal, when it was the economic, business and cultural center of Canada. Beautifully done. If you have any footage with more of the Golden Square Mile please post.
Living in Montreal, I can only feel sadness in front of such past elegance, space, disposition ... "Progress" has only been regress in true essence of living spaces.

great. but I think you need to decrease saturation and gamma, increase contrast a little. I've tried to do it with screenshot - and after it the image looks more realistic
Beautiful! I like the colorization, it provides a more immersive experience. I love to recognize familiar landmarks, and then discover buildings, marquées and storefronts that no longer exist. Thanks for putting this out. Great work.

The northern island suburb of Montreal is the city of Laval. On the north side of Laval the branch of the St. Lawrence turns to the northwest and becomes the Ottawa River. The rest of the St. Lawrence splits Montreal and Laval in half and then flows southwest again, eventually where St. Lawrence flows into Lake Ontario and the rest of the Great Lakes. That is why when you look down on the city of Montreal from the top of Mount Royal ( a magnificent view and where the city gets its name) you can see all of these bridges that cross the river into the city.
Look very carefully @ 7.05 m. You will see Jacques Cartier Bridge wich went into service early 1930.
@@LeYuikin Yep, looks brand new
@@michaelverbakel7632 the st-laurent flows into the ocean.... lol
@@RWMAirgunsmithing Yes, I apologize you are correct. The water flows out of the Great Lakes and becomes the St. Lawrence, going around Montreal, then flows northeast into the Gulf of St. Lawrence and out into the ocean.
This brings my b&w stills of my mother as a child a new meaning. Ty
Very nice, but please give a little more time to read what you have written; we would appreciate that. Thank you and happy new year!
Thank you, happy new year
"Colorized only for the ambiance (not historically accurate)" well of course, because of the film degradation with time, and a bunch of other factors, it's still fairly accurate, but not pinpoint pixel-perfect 100% accurate. For an almost 100 years old film, it's still great colorization.
That view from the lookout... Oh my my. I sure did not expect that. Also: RIP le Faubourg à m'lasse. I wish I could have seen it with my own eyes. Thank you for your amazing work!
My parents were born in 1917 & 1919 in Montreal. So interesting to see the city as it was during their teen years. No family remains there.
WoW merci ❤
Fantastic footage and great work stabilizing and modernizing these images.
Very beautiful thanks Nass
Thx! ;)
Thank you for showing us what it was like in Canada back in the 1930s. I had no idea they were real people!!!!!!
They weren't. They were frogs

I have to say that seeiing White Star Line, Made me go.. WOW!!!!!!
La seule chose qui manque a ce vidéo est les son des tramways qui résonnait partout à cette époque.Merci quand même!
For a city from the 1920s, it looks very well kept and organized, with lots of green areas. What does not convince me is the artificial coloring of these old movies. The purple "color" always predominates. Instead of putting a previous black signboard to refer to a specific place, it would be better to overprint it on the film.
I like the way the signboards precede passages of the video material. Thus, the latter can be watched completely and without a distraction.
This is the French creativity and beauty.
Beautiful, very proud of my hometown! Dominion Square is where I used to take my lunch breaks in the late 90s, early 2000s 😊
Having studied at McGill, it's insane to see how little some parts of the university (and city in general) have changed in a hundred years.
I live there. A ton of these buildings are still standing today.
I was expecting to have to mentally strain to picture what the locations look like now, but honestly all of them look pretty similar today. I've had memories in every location in this reel, from the lookoff to the bridge at LaFontaine. Nifty
Thanks so much for sharing this! Absolutely incredible footage. Montreal is pure magic.
Thank you very much for to his wonderful, excellent upload!!!
That beautiful wee girl at 2.45 wondering who the guy with the camera is. If she is still with us she will probably be between 85 - 90 yrs old. Keep these treasures coming , with love from Glasgow, Scotland.
Remarkable time capsule back to the glory days of Montreal, when it was the economic, business and cultural center of Canada. Beautifully done. If you have any footage with more of the Golden Square Mile please post.
Werent the 1930s a time of great economic depression and recession in Canada and the rest of the world
Living in Montreal, I can only feel sadness in front of such past elegance, space, disposition
... "Progress" has only been regress in true essence of living spaces.
Unfassbar diese Bildqualität !!! ♥
Montréalais born and raised, here. Thank you for uploading this. Our beautiful City has a beautiful History.
Eh bien cela parle de chez vous, alors pourquoi ne pas commenter en français ? La Belle Histoire, comme vous dites, ça se déroule tous les jours.

Ils se disent citoyens du monde en se sentant chez eux n'importe où, avec leurs gros sabots, comme les austiiis de britannique tel qu'on les connaît ici...
Another phenomenal video
great. but I think you need to decrease saturation and gamma, increase contrast a little. I've tried to do it with screenshot - and after it the image looks more realistic
Wow.. the view from the observatory is so different no skyscrapers!!! You can see the Farine Five Rose mill from there!!!
farine. five roses. farine. five roses. farine five roses.
Beautiful! I like the colorization, it provides a more immersive experience. I love to recognize familiar landmarks, and then discover buildings, marquées and storefronts that no longer exist. Thanks for putting this out. Great work.
Le vieux Montréal semblait plus dynamique que maintenant
A part des touristes...
Et plus propre.
Nass, beautiful work. You should not allows comments. It is sad to rea. Lot of them are negative and deregatory to a marvelous city.
Thank you for making and sharing this..Now it's confirmed the same houses have not aged a bit lol. They looked old and dull when first constructed and still old and dull today ..At least people walked and socialized more in the past.Great video though..
More from Montreal or Laval which is north of montreal would be great if u could? Truly great work you’ve done thank you so much
Je suis émue! J'adore! Merci!
Amazing job!!
I’m a 62 year old Montrealer born in Montreal General 1961. My Dad was born in Maisoneuve in the east end in 1918 my Mom in 1925. This was their youth. Wow.
Thanks for this! Makes me appreciate my city even more!
