Mayor Edward Wilson, long time Verdun Mayor 1950's ?
Name the Store an it's location ?
Hi Arbutus,
La d챕pannaillerie on Bannantyne (Bi챔re froide) Which address ??? which corner on Bannantyne ??? (Maybe Bob Gaboury may be of some help (his parents had a commerce on Bannantyne)) Mom & Dad Gaboury early 1990's If you came into Mado's at the corner of Bannantyne and Gordon in the late 50's and early 60's, they were there to serve you. Bob Gaboury Camarillo, California, United States BobGaboury@aol.com Have nice holidays JMH
Hint: I think this photo was taken at a later date than indicated - 1950 I don't think so ! - ---- Gary
You’re right Gary, The seven digits phone numbers were implemented in August 1961 in Verdun. On the photo, a 7-digits number appears: 767-3177 for La d챕pannaillerie JMH
Ok - I'll tell you the name !!!! Proudfoot's corner of Manning and Bannantyne. I lived on Moffat between Verdun Ave and Bannantyne, close to St John the Devine Anglican Church, and of course recognized the picture when I saw it. Well actually I had to study the picture for a while. What finally clicked was the fact that I could make out the letters FOOT'S on the sign. The photo date was deceiving - the fact that the phone number was 737-3177 was from a more up to date era as noted by J-M, signs are also unilingual french and a car rear end just visible at the left hand corner of the photo convinced me that the photo was probably taken around late 70's to mid 80's. Gary
Good forensic work Gary !!! But you were familiar with this historical building ! :-))) I could hardly detect P..... OOT on the old sign. I suspect the corner to be the NE one ? What happenned to St. John the Devine Anglican Church in Verdun (after 2000) ? St. John The Divine Anglican Church (Verdun) Date of foundation ???? -2000 Closed (or transformed) in 2000 ??? Information taken from: ANGLICAN CHURCH RECORDS IN MONTREAL 1760 - 2000 http://www.rootsweb.com/~qcmtl-w/AngCHrecords.html BUT MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS CHURCH IS GIVEN IN THE BOOK: History of Verdun by Julien D챕ziel. (The English translation of Histoire de Verdun, published in 1976) ... First reunion presided by Rev. Leslie Dunwell on April 9, 1929. This meeting was held at Woodland School. The basement was completed in January 1930 an the church on November 30, 1937. The question still is: What happenned to St. John the Devine Anglican Church in Verdun (after 2000) ? JMH
Hi Gary Yes, you get the name and the function. But you still have to find the period of the mandate and the surname ... easy ! JM
Hi Gary, I don't remember that as Proudfoot's but is that the same store that was called Ivan"s on the corner of Manning /Bannantyne? Mike
I was married in this church, in 1967, when Reverend Thorpe was there, but the late Father Dan before his his time was a great family friend of mine, was confirmed there, was an aid to the Sunday school teacher also was in the "young peoples " association there also, loved that little church, sad that it is no longer, my 2 sons were christened there, also
