Gilles Hocquart Building

The Gilles Hocquart building is at 535 Viger Avenue East in the Quartier Latin of Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

It is distinguished by its imposing presence in Viger Square, a prestigious setting for the French-speaking bourgeoisie in the early twentieth century, The Gilles Hocquart building actually comprises three distinct parts built at different times.

This building was built at the time in order to accommodate the HEC school.

The Gilles Hocquart building is now owned by Société Immobilière du Québec (SIQ) and houses the Centre d'archives nationales in Montreal after several moves.

Now called "BAnQ Vieux-Montréal", when the institution moved into the Gilles Hocquart building, some changes were made to meet the needs of an archive center.
