  Saint Jacques Street - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the second half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century, St. James Street was the centre of Montreal's financial district and where several major insurance companies built their Canadian head offices.
At the end of the War, St. James Street grew rapidly and although by the 1920's there were stock exchanges in Toronto, Winnipeg, Calgary and Vancouver, St. James Street's stock brokerage houses and the Montreal Stock Exchange were the most important in all of Canada.
Today, St. James Street is notable mostly for its grand Neo-Classical buildings on the part of the street running through the Old Montreal district.

Sherbrooke Street, which runs "east-west" is 3400 (north of the Saint Lawrence), so a house on the north-east corner of Sherbrooke St. would theoretically be numbered 3401, and on the north-west 3400.
Saint Hubert Street, which runs "north-south" is 800 East, so a house on the north-east corner of St-Hubert St, would be 801 (or 801 East if the street crosses Saint Lawrence Boulevard), and a house on the south-east corner would be 800 East.
