The Strathcona Music Building, at 555 Sherbrooke Street West, houses the Schulich School of Music at McGill University. Built in 1899 by architect Bruce Price at the request of Lord Srathcona, formerly Donald Smith, it was originally the home for Royal Victoria College, McGill's college for women named in honor of Queen Victoria. Srathcona purchased the Tiffin and Learmont properties and funded the project with an additional £50,000. At the opening of the building a statue of the Queen, executed by Princess Louise, was presented to the College and today still sits enthroned on the steps.
The original, five storey central edifice, named the Hurlbatt Wing after the College's first warden, is of the British chateau style, crowned by many gables and dormers and covered by a layer of grey, Montreal limestone. The building is decorated by many carvings that refer both to wisdom and to its namesake, the Queen.

The three-storey, Montreal limestimestone building was was designed by the firm of Hutchison and Steele in the Classical Revival style.

The building's postmodern form features a glass curtain wall that varies between blue and green depending on sunlight. The top 4 floors form a pyramid-shaped mechanical penthouse that is lit white at night; it is lit white, green and red during the Christmas holidays (in a similar manner as the Empire State Building). The tower is crowned with a hollow pyramidal spire.

1000 de la Gauchetière was built to the design of Lemay & Associates and Dimakopoulos & Associates architects in 1992. The 51-floor postmodern tower rises to the maximum height approved by the city--the elevation of Mont Royal--at 205-meters. Measured to its roof, the tower is the tallest building in Montréal, but is surpassed by both 1250 René-Lévesque and the CIBC Tower when spires are considered. Built on lower ground than other towers in the city, 1000 de la Gauchetière appears shorter as part of the skyline from certain angles despite its height.
The postmodern design features a distinctive triangular copper roof as well as four copper-capped rotunda entrances at the tower base corners, inspired by the bordering Cathédrale Marie-Reine du Monde. The semi-spherical corner caps mirror the shape of the half-moon windows of neighbouring Marriott Château Champlain hotel, which were themselves inspired by the arches of the adjoining Windsor Station. The street-level architecture projecting out in a distinct style, reducing the visual and psychological impact of the entire building from this viewpoint. Inside, past an atrium planted with live trees, is an indoor skating rink bordered by cafés.
When it was built, 1000 de la Gauchetière was owned jointly by Bell Canada Enterprises and Teleglobe. In 2002, SITQ, a division of the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDP Capital), bought the building for $184 million CAD.
