Address : 94 Rue Sainte-Thérèse, Montréal
The condominium located in the quadrilateral formed by Saint-Paul, de Vaudreuil, Sainte-Thérèse and Saint-Gabriel streets has had a rich and eventful history over the centuries. In the 18th century, it was the property of Antoine Janson dit Lapalme, but it was bought by Joseph Frobisher in 1796. Successive owners, McTavish, Frobisher & Company, and then McTavish, McGillivrays & Company, had the house rebuilt in stone and built a stone arch in the backyard.
After McTavish, McGillivrays & Company went bankrupt in 1825, the property was sold by the sheriff ten years later. It was purchased by Joseph Tiffin in 1850, who expanded the house to the archway and made it a warehouse. The property was sold to Heliodore Fortier in 1905, who added a third brick floor to the warehouse and rented it to businesses. In 1944, the Fortier heirs sold it to Duchesneau and Trudeau, who owned it until 1978.
Today, the condominium has become an 8-unit condominium spread over 4 floors. Despite the many changes over the centuries, the condominium still retains vestiges of its rich past, witnessing the many stories that took place within its walls. This condominium is a fascinating testimony to the history of the city and the evolution of its buildings over time.
