Vtg Color Snapshot Habitat 67 Montreal Expo Construction Waterfront Crane 1960s

This rare vintage color snapshot captures the ambitious construction phase of Habitat 67 along the Montreal waterfront. The frame highlights the skeletal concrete geometry of Moshe Safdie’s revolutionary project, with a tall industrial crane looming over the site against the backdrop of the St. Lawrence River.

The image offers a vivid look at the 1960s architectural transition during the Expo era. It is a quintessential piece for collectors of mid-century urban development and Canadian design history. A striking view of Habitat 67 rising from the Montreal waterfront.
