Ice Cream Toilet

Ice Cream Toilet

This is a shot taken on New Years day in Cabot Square in Montreal, across the street from the old Forum. The Childrens Hospital is in the background. The building was the entrance to the old underground toilets that used to be in major Montreal parks for many years until the 1970s or early 1980s, when they were finally closed for good due to criminal activity in the washrooms.

It is now an ice cream stand during the warmer months, and an oasis of cool to escape the oppressive heat and humidity of summer.

I have always found the architecture of these toilets to be charming, despite their original purpose.

i descended upon montreal for new years eve in 2002. it's a shame i can't remember more.

i agree, charming architecture. if it was built today it'd be garish plastic and covered in ads (at least around here it would).

Biff: Ce beau cela!

The entrance to the Atwater metro station is at the west end of the park. The light green roof of the building in the picture above is just barely visible among the trees about 30 or 40 feet SE of the metro building.
