Well, the ruins of the facade are still there, which are quite beautiful on their own. A new smaller church (some 70's modern looking thing) was then built into the rear wall of the old church. With the front half of the ruins being a sort of courtyard. But apart from the stone exterior everything else was lost, and most of the stone exterior (the sides mainly) were deemed too structurally compromised to keep. The two top steeples collapsed during the fire. My Dad recalls all of the stained glass shattering out from the heat.
Talk about a blast from the past!! Thanks for this!!
I was there in '84 and this brought back memories, thanks.
Very nice slide show thanks
Enjoyed seeing the contrast between the North End and Uptown, UGM and St Boniface, thanks
The Underground Pizza Works! I loved that place. I think they "decorated" with glow-in-the-dark gears on the walls. Good pizza too.
And the tables talked ( hidden speakers)

0:53 God I wish it hadn't burned down. My Dad was a witness to the fire.
Actually the Church it's self is still there. I believe there was a fire in the roof, which caused the two top pillars to have to be removed.
