Thsi is the premier issue of Callière. There are other magazines, media properties that address certain target markets and tourism entities. There are, however, few IF ANY magazines about the Culture and Travel of the Province of Québec that are published in English targeting potential visitors, investors, and residents of Québec. Callière Magazine’s goal is: to alleviate the apparent gap in the market place of professionally prepared, and editorialized, content and information on the “Best of Quebéc” to an English audience. The magazine was initially conceived to be a: “private sector vehicle for public sector Québec tourism entities to directly target affluent readers in their key target markets”. These markets are: Ontario, Boston, New York, and other possible markets within close proximity to Montréal & Québec. However it has mushroomed into something much more complex, and with this

Hotel 10 Montreal This is not a question most people ask themselves, but for General Manager Bob Eyton-Jones it has been a question he’s asked himself more than once. Some people prefer “zen” meditation, Eyton-Jones is a zestful practitioner of “ten” meditation. Since assuming stewardship of Hotel 10, in Montreal, Canada, he’s had to deal with the ghosts of ‘hotels past’. In a period of just 8 years, his hotel had seen two previous incarnations: Opus Montreal (2007-2012), and before that Hotel Godin (2004-2007). There are many reasons why some things work, and others don’t. As with
life, timing in launching hotels is a key factor in their success. It is hard to run a hotel with no alcohol permits for food and beverage outlets (Godin), tougher still dealing with the worst global financial meltdown in recent history (Opus). For Montreal based Tidan Hotels, timing was everything when they purchased the property out of bankruptcy in late 2012. The opportunity to “dust off ” a property with an impeccable architectural pedigree, and a ton of hidden value, was welcomed. In need of only “grooming”, one of the ‘hidden assets’ that Tidan inherited with their purchase was the aforementioned Bob Eyton-Jones. Seen as the perfect “groomsman” and ‘torch-bearer’, the gregarious Eyton-Jones was eminently qualified. In 2010 he had been selected “one of the lucky few” to carry the ceremonial torch through the snowy streets of Montreal on its journey to the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. His new charge was now named Hotel
10, but the really important number in this case was “9561”, the number the Canadian Register of Historic Places assigns to Édifice Joseph-Arthur-Godin. Joseph-Arthur Godin was born in 1879 and like many of his contemporaries at the time, was educated at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. While in belle époque Paris, Godin became familiar with Auguste Perret, then popularizing the use of reinforced concrete in construction and doing it with flair. Perret in turn, was familiar with the Hennebique system, patented in 1892 by François Hennebique, which used the modern reinforced-concrete method of construction. Around 1909, after a trip to Paris, Godin brought the Perret/Hennbiqueinfluenced ideas back to Montreal and began implementing them. 2116 blvd Saint-Laurent was unique in its design having accommodations on the top 3 floors, while accommodating rather uncommon retail/commercial space on the ground floor. It is a very narrow building, due to its lot shape, which necessitated a vertical design. Designed in an art nouveau style, a favourite of Godin’s, the buildings’ claim to historic significance is that it represents the first poured concrete non-commercial building in North America. Influenced by the brief period of time when Art Deco and Art Nouveau met - Deco is straight, clean lines. Nouveau is flowery and ornate - Godin’s design beautifully intersected them both. Any decent bookmaker would probably give you 1:1 odds, that Godin had 1914. His most likely concern was getting his building constructed, to start earning income from it. Ironically, in retrospect, he was unable to do that since after it was finished in 1915 it was seized and sold for unpaid debts. Envision a time-lapse montage, to the 1990’s. Home to squatters, Edifice Godin had been designated a historical property in 1990 thereby ‘cementing’ its legacy. Even ‘less traditional’ attempts of razing were pointless - built entirely from concrete that doesn’t burn so well – and failing an accidental collision

In 1994, Hanganu gained notoriety with his Museum of History and Archeology in Montreal, known as Pointe-à-Callière, which earned the Governor General’s Award for Architecture. Now he was asked to create a complimentary structure to the original building, and tie them together in an attractive, functional way. His answer has been described as using a “big box” strategy, while also “providing a surprising, dramatic interior”. One could muse that initial critics didn’t spend a great deal of time on the inside. Panned for its minimalist nature, Hanganu’s design was described as, “not giving the appearance of a seamless synthesis but rather representing two egos standing alongside one another, one exemplifying the historic and the curvilinear, and the other the rectilinear and the new.” Conversely, the new interior had been handled by the visionary Yabu Pushelberg team, and the critics gushed over it giving credence to a line from a 1980’s Coleman Wilde song: “it’s inside what counts.” Which brings us back to the question, “What DO you DO with a big grey box?” If you are Bob Eyton-Jones, you assemble a stellar staff and management team, and you begin grooming a show piece.
