Georges-Alphonse Monette
Georges-Alphonse Monette (13 March 1870, Montréal —16 July 1941, Montréal[1]) was a Canadian architect who worked mainly in his native city of Montréal. He apprenticed in Montréal with architect Alexander Francis Dunlop in the 1880s before becoming a foreman at the architectural firm Perrault and Mesnard. He left this firm in 1895 to start his own business which he operated successfully into the 1920s.[2]
Monette's most notable works were mainly religious buildings, including the Church of Saint-Léon-de-Westmount (1901-1903) and the Précieux-Sang à Notre-Dame-de-Grâce (1902). He also designed convents, rectories, schools, and residential buildings while in Montreal. From 1918-1925 he served as the president of the Association of Architects of the Province of Quebec (AAPQ).[2]
