History Edit

The Peck Building was constructed in 1903, on a site of a former quarry. The building was opened in 1904, housing a textile factory[1] owned by John W. Peck & Company Ltd. In 1913, the building was extended to the St-Dominique Street in order to house more employees. On May 26, 1920, John W. Peck, owner of Peck & Co., had died of heart disease. Ten years later, in 1920, the factory was closed. Since then, several other clothing manufacturers were occupying the space. Discreet Logic, developer of animation software, was located on the top floor from 1993 to 1997, and since then moved to Griffintown.[2]

Since 1997, Ubisoft Montreal occupies the building.[3]
