St. Anne's Market

[1] The two-storey, 100-metre-long (330 ft) Georgian building was designed by John Wells and Francis Thompson and was built atop a section of the Little River.

[3][1] The passage of the Rebellion Losses Bill on the night of April 25, 1849, led to the sacking and arson of the St. Anne's Market parliamentary building.

[1] The fire, set by Loyalist rioters attempting to disrupt an ongoing Assembly session, spread to nearby building and burned rapidly.

Firefighters sent to respond to the fire at St. Anne's Market were slowed by mobs of rioters, leading to the building's total destruction within two hours.

[2][9] To celebrate the 375th anniversary of Montreal's founding, the city plans to open part of the collector sewer beneath the site of St. Anne's Market in 2017.
