The Royal Victoria Hospital or as it is popularly known, the "Royal Vic" or "The Vic", is a hospital affiliated with McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is located at 687 Pine Avenue on the slope of Mount Royal . It has nine pavilions: Administrative , Centennial, Outpatient clinics, Women's, Hersey, Medical Labs, Medical, Surgical, and Ross. The A, E, and L pavilions form what was the original hospital and were designed by Henry Saxon Snell in the Scottish baronial style. From 2015, the hospital will be moved but the future of the Royal Vic building is unclear as no studies have yet been conducted for its reuse.

The Royal Victoria Hospital was established in 1893 through the financial donations of two public-spirited Scottish immigrants, the cousins Donald Smith, and George Stephen.

In 1920, the hospital became a medical research institute through the McGill University Faculty of Medicine. In 1929, Dr. Wilder Penfield established the Montreal Neurological Institute adjacent to the hospital. Among the list of medical achievements at the Royal Victoria was the first successful organ transplant in the Commonwealth in 1958. It was achieved by a team led by nephrologist John Dossetor and surgeons Joe Luke and Ken MacKinnon. Today, the Royal Victoria Hospital is part of the McGill University Health Centre

Thank you Cinderfire. Yes, it always had a good reputation. I wonder what they will use it for????

Thank you Ladywil. I don't remember the maze! But fortunately I didn't go there very often.

Thank you Suzy! What about a youth hostel !!! Or better yet ... an 'all ages' inexpensive hostel for travellers!!!

An incredible piece of history. I hope they find a good use for the building when they move the hospital.

It is a nice building to look at, but I think it looks miserable inside. It is like a maze if you want to find a doctor or department. Not my favourite hospital.

Thanks for all the information on this hospital, served for many generations so guess it has earned a rest.

Thank you Mogens. You're right. Old hospitals are often renovated to make them brighter and more cheerful.

Thanks Lorna. They plan to find another use for it in 2015. Can you imagine the sign out front ... "Antique Hospital for sale ... cheap!" : ))))

Stunning building. I agree with Ank's comment!

Very impressive. I love the towers and the green roofs. It looks more as a castle as a hospital. It's beautiful.
