House with a gable façade
This is the oldest house on du Village Street. Its inhabitants went to church in a rowboat because the water level reached all the way up to Sacré-Cœur.
During the Great Depression of the 1930s, villagers came together to fill in the land. Today, the lot no longer extends to the lakefront; houses have been built at the back.
A bachelor at the time, Henri Lajeunesse built the house in 1924. He then married widow Pagé, Marie-Louise Filion, a mother of three children. Henri would serve as village mayor from 1932.
