Assomption is a station on the green line of the Montreal Metro.
History
Assomption Metro takes its name from the street it is located on, L'Assomption bvld which was named to commemorate Pope Pius XII's confirmation of the dogma of the Assumption of Mary in his 1950 apostolic constitution Munificentissimus Deus. At the beginning the staion was to named Chauveau, which is the cross street of the station.
The design of the metro station was done by Duplessis and Labelle and the artistic details were done by Guy Monpetit. The walls were initially supposed to be different colors at each level, but as a last minute addition, they added murals, which also doubled as a way to hide the flaws in the concrete.
Location
Cadillac station is located in the borough of Mercier-Hochelage-Maisonneuve on the corner of Cadillac street and Sherbrooke street.
