This is a very common sight all over the province of Quebec, especially in the cities like Montreal. Small buildings have external stairs which are the main access to the upper units - not as fire escapes. It would be interesting to know if the purpose is to save internal space that staircases would take up. I have no idea of the answer.

It is a nice looking building. It is good to save the indoor space. Not good to be on the outdoor stairs if it is raining. Take care Happy Sunday! Have a great week!
Whenever I see them, I figure that I am probably seeing Montreal.
Given the geographic location of Quebec, the weather here is often inclement making the outdoor stairs difficult and perhaps dangerous. I don't think I would want to live here.
That's a nice looking building. I can't image there not being any stairs on the inside.
Uncommon here.
