This modernist gas station on Nuns' Island in Montreal was built in 1969 from a design by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and originally commissioned by Imperial Oil as the first filling station on the Island of Montreal. One of four buildings Mies designed for the site, the structure exemplifies his characteristic modernist approach to architecture. After closing for several years, it was subsequently converted into a community centre and is now recognized as a heritage immovable.
