Located, minutes from the once industrially active old port, the Southam Building became a cornerstone in Montreal's business community. It exists, today as perhaps, the best red-brick industrial example of the early 1900's. Constructed during a time when no "skyscraper" could exceed 10 stories, the architects Brown and Vallance had the difficult task of balancing a design that would be both "tall" and "long".As the building itself was primarily a printing facility - housing presses which extended for more than 200 feet, a structure composed of three distinct architectural components was conceived. The long very well windowed corridor portion depicted by the arched windowed facade that has become synonymous with the Southam Building and its history was the first element to be delivered in 1912.Serving as the "press", this seven story undeniably industrial component, typified by its extremely large divided light window bays and their signature rounded headers, stretches a distance of roughly 275 feet towards the east from rue Saint-Alexandre where the main entrance was originally located.
