Ludger Lemieux


Ludger Lemieux was a Quebec architect who designed a number of notable Art deco structures in Montreal's Saint-Henri district. While he often worked in partnership with Joseph-Honoré MacDuff, his best-known structure, the Atwater Market, was designed not with MacDuff but with his son Paul M. Lemieux.
He was born in Farnham, Quebec to parents Moïse Lemieux and Marie Melanie Serre. He studied at McGill University before his architectural practice after 1897.
He was married to Marie Louise Pare and had six children including Paul Marie Lemieux.
He worked with Macduff from 1897 to 1918, then on his own until 1931 when his son Paul M. Lemieux joined to work with father.
