The Normandie Roof in Montreal

—

Here is a great picture of a men’s social gathering on the Normandie Roof in Montreal. A Google search tells me that the Normadie Roof was located in the Royal Hotel in Montreal.

My grandfather John Melody Dever is a part of this group of men. Grandpa appears to be in his late thirties so I am guessing the date of the photograph to be in the 1930s.

If you have a better guess on the date or recognize the people he was chumming with please let me know!

    My Father Maurice Forester had the band that played Saturday nights at Normandie room at Mount Royal hotel. I have not found more references to that .
