Phillips Square was carved out of property that initially belonged to fur trader Joseph Frobisher, (1740-1810) one of the original found- ing partners of the Northwest Trading Company.
The following year the Montreal Art Association moved into a building along the east side, but the square did not become a hub of the city’s uptown retail district until the 1890s.The square is dominated by a bronze statue of Britain’s King Edward VII, who ruled from 1901 to 1910.
He visited Montreal in 1860, when he was still the Prince of Wales, to open the Victoria Bridge and was perhaps the last monarch to be regarded with genuine affection in Quebec.
