Pavilion Where Verdun Was Founded

Pauline mentioned that there is a photo of the Pavilion house wich was situated at the corner of LaSalle and Church. The photo dated 1910 is on the BANQ site and is part of the           E.Z. Massicotte collection. As I already mentioned before, this is where Verdun was founded in 1876. It also is the house where the victim of the last duel held in Canada was brought to and where he died. This is part of Verdun history and is well documented. This house was demolished in 1954 and approved by the Verdun administration under the mayor Edward Wilson. This house should never have been destroyed and should have remained as part of Verdun's heritage. I am including a currant photo wich I took on 11/10/2007 so that you can see the change.
