1425 Claude-Grégoire Street
The Marist Brothers were responsible for teaching in a new school for boys that opened in 1935. The institution was named Saint-Jean-Baptiste in memory of the founder of the Rolland Paper Mill. Its mission was to provide business and agricultural training.
A fire completely destroyed the building on July 14, 1950. A second school was built on the same site based on the plans of the architect Napoléon Beauchamp. After the departure of the Marist Brothers in 1972, the Municipality of Mont-Rolland purchased the old school for use as the City Hall. This allowed the city to consolidate various services, including the public library.
When Mont-Rolland and Sainte-Adèle merged in 1997, the new city confirmed the 1993 decision to allocate space to Simone Constantineau, allowing her to fulfill her dream of finding a new location for the Zénon Alary Museum.
