==History== Montreal's largest apartment building upon completion, the Linton appealed to well-to-do tenants as a substitute for a large house requiring servants, which were becoming increasingly difficult to find, at the time. The building offered such services as a dry cleaner and caterer, and featured such then-modern amenities as an elevator, central heating, electric doorbell, telephone switchboard and dumbwaiter.<ref name=McCord>{{cite web|title=VIEW-12777 {{!}} The Linton apartments, Sherbrooke Street, Montreal, QC, 1912-13|url=http://www.mccord-museum.qc.ca/en/collection/artifacts/VIEW-12777?Lang=1&accessnumber=VIEW-12777|work=Our People Our Stories|publisher=McCord Museum|accessdate=19 December 2011}}</ref>
