RE-6 – WESTMOUNT INDEPENDENT – March 26, 2019 Armoury sold in December for $4.8M Hillside’s many sides explored at historical association Guest speaker and heritage consultant Susan Bronson (left) is pictured with Westmount Historical Association’s board member Ruth Allan-Rigby March 21 at the Westmount Public Library. The lecture outlined a hundred years of history behind 1-3 Hillside Ave., which evolved from the Mount Royal Riding Academy and Stable to the Hillside Ar- moury. The Independent’s most recent report- ing (“Developer awaits news from city on sports complex,” June 5, 2018, p. 1) relayed that the representative of the previous owner, developer Karl Beauchamp, was impatient, saying at the time “I can’t wait forever [for city input and approval] and then have to go in another direction if there’s no positive vibe. It’s one of my many projects, but I can’t leave the build- ing vacant forever.” The building was sold by Hillside Lim- ited Partnership to 9387-6852 Québec Inc. on December 19 of last year for $4.8 mil- lion. Two of the directors of the new owner are Luciano Girlando and Nello Orsini. Main photo: WHA meeting March 21; inset photo: The former armoury on March 25.
