Maison Cormier (English: Cormier House) is an Art deco residence in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, located at 1418 Pine Avenue.[1]
Description
It was built by architect Ernest Cormier as his own residence in 1930-31, and also served as the residence of Pierre Trudeau, following his retirement from politics, until Trudeau's passing in 2000.[2] In 1974, it was proclaimed as a historical monument in Quebec.
Cormier experimented with a variety of styles in the house: Art deco on the facade, monumental on one side and more modernist in the back. Cormier created most of the furniture, with remaining pieces acquired at the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris.[3]
