THE LAYOUT BECOMES PACIFIC

 

ANOTHER COMPARAISON:

SAINTE-ANNE 

AND THE AREA'S OTHER 19TH CENTURY CHURCH,

BUILT IN THE 1850'S AND 20 MINUTES AWAY

Notre-Dame de la Gare

 • The urban layout changes

° In the 1850's

 the church is built at the end of a long, straight street 

meant for marching troops, 

with around it a space where they can assemble 

and be separated from residents

Notre-Dame de la Gare and rue Jeanne d'Arc

Space and street continue behind the church.

° In the 1890's

the edifice is on crossroads,

and gives out on the sidewalk

There is no space for massing troops. In fact, one must take side streets even to circle the church.
