The Westmount railway station (French: Gare de Westmount) is a disused railway station located in the city of Westmount, Quebec, Canada. Its address is 4848 Saint Catherine Street West at the bottom of Victoria Ave. It was designed for the Canadian Pacific Railway by the company architect, W.S. Painter, and was completed in 1907. The station is now owned by the city of Westmount. The station closed to passenger service in 1983. It was recognized as a Heritage Railway Station according to the Heritage Railway Stations Protection Act in 1994. Councilor Philip A. Cutler proposed to convert it into a tech hub during a 2016 council meeting in Westmount. He used the transformation of Notman House as a precedent and visited as part of a fact-finding mission.
