Archives de l’Université de Montréal, 1922

The 1922 fire was not the first, but second one to severely damage the Université de Montréal’s central building, then located on Saint-Denis Street in the Quartier Latin neighbourhood. This fire set back the opening of the laboratories of the Radium Institute, which were eventually inaugurated in 1923.
