Place-Saint-Henri station (French pronunciation: [plassɛ̃ɑ̃ʁi] ) is a Montreal Metro station in the borough of Le Sud-Ouest in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. [4] It is operated by the Société de transport de Montréal (STM) and serves the Orange Line. It is located in the Saint-Henri neighbourhood.

Contents

The station opened on April 28, 1980, as the western terminus of the first extension of the Orange Line, replacing Bonaventure station as the terminus until the extension to Snowdon station opened in 1981.

Overview

The station was designed by Julien Hébert and Jean-Louis Lalonde. The station is a normal side platform station that is connected by long stairwells to a large mezzanine. The station has three accesses; one is a conventional access within a bus loop, and the other two are glass walled entrances linking to staircases and elevators linked to an underground gallery connected to the mezzanine.

Station improvements

In November 2020, work began at the station to make it universally accessible. [5] As part of this project, the Saint-Jacques North and South exits were closed, new entrance buildings with elevators were built, and a new piece of artwork was commissioned. [6] [5] Place Saint-Henri was also refurbished. During construction, the main entrance on Saint-Ferdinand remained open. The two entrances and elevators were completed in December of 2024. [7]

Artwork

The station originally contained two artworks: a mural by Hébert in the mezzanine, entitled Bonheur d'occasion , featuring the title of the famous book by Gabrielle Roy (in English called The Tin Flute), set in the neighbourhood; [8] and a motorized mobile sculpture by Jacques de Tonnancour suspended in the mezzanine and over the platforms. [9]

In 2001, a statue of Jacques Cartier by Joseph-Arthur Vincent (originally created in 1896), was moved to the station and placed in a light shaft over the Côte-Vertu bound platform. It had formerly crowned a fountain in a nearby park, but was removed, moved to the station, and replaced with a copy after it crumbled due to exposure. [10]

Origin of the name

This station is named for place Saint-Henri, a short street and public square between rue Saint-Jacques and rue Notre-Dame. The place and the district took their name from a chapel built in 1810 and placed under the protection of Saint Henry, possibly to commemorate Henri-Auguste Roux (1798–1831), superior of Saint-Sulpice Seminary.
