"McTavish Street, 1955" is a painting by the Canadian artist John Little, born in 1928. This artwork depicts McTavish Street, a historic thoroughfare located in Montreal, Quebec, known for its architectural charm and cultural significance.

As a subject, McTavish Street would offer Little the opportunity to capture the bustling urban atmosphere of Montreal in the mid-20th century. The painting showcases the street's distinctive architecture, with its row of buildings, storefronts, and perhaps glimpses of everyday life unfolding on the sidewalks.

Given the title and the timeframe of 1955, viewers can expect the painting to evoke a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era. Little may utilize a style reminiscent of realism or impressionism, with attention to detail and a focus on capturing the unique character of McTavish Street.

Through "McTavish Street, 1955," viewers are likely transported back in time to experience the sights and sounds of Montreal's urban landscape as it appeared over half a century ago. The painting serves as both a historical document and a celebration of the enduring charm of urban life.
