Shaughnessy Village is a neighbourhood of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, located on the western side of the Ville-Marie borough. It is bounded by Guy Street to the east, Atwater Street to the west, Sherbrooke Street to the north, and René Lévesque Boulevard and the Ville-Marie Expressway to the south. This neighbourhood is the most densely populated area of Quebec, due to the large number of high-rise apartment towers built in the 1960s and 1970s.〔(Montrealbits.com:Shaughnessy Village )〕 The area is characterized by high-density residential housing and small-businesses, typically owned and operated by immigrants living in the neighbourhood, concentrated at its core, with stately Victorian grey-stone row houses and beaux-arts styled apartment blocks at the edges of the neighbourhood. It is a primarily institutional neighbourhood, with a university, junior college, seminary, hospital and architecture museum among many private schools, colleges and technical schools. In 1981, local citizens named the neighourhood after Shaughnessy House, built in 1874 for Thomas Shaughnessy, president of the Canadian Pacific Railway.〔 The house was declared a National Historic Site of Canada in 1974, and is now part of the Canadian Centre for Architecture.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2008-03-30 )〕 Other notable landmarks in the area include the Montreal Forum and Montreal Children's Hospital on Atwater Avenue, ''Le Faubourg Sainte-Catherine'' shopping mall and Cabot Square. ==History== Prior to Expo '67 and the Olympics, this neighbourhood was considered the gay village (mostly for anglophones). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shaughnessy Village」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
