We restored our residence with the aim of offering you more comfort in its patrimonial decoration . The name "Elzéar Ouellet" is the one
of the owner of the house in 1867 ,who was a big importation trader of this time .
From Quebec conception by its shape, its three attic windows, its French windows and its summer kitchen behind, this big house was built in the second half of the XIXth century.
His covers in sheet steel with baguette return us behind; its ornamentations in attic windows and in galleries let guess the rich house at that time which is decorated in the victorian taste.
This building was the Elzéar Ouellet's general store, the north part was of use as premises to the Bank of Montreal from 1947 to 1960s.
Mr. Elzéar Ouellet was born on August 9th, 1830 to St-Roch-des-Aulnaies. In 1858, on August 9th, he married Miss Marie-Julie-Claire Hudon, of the river Ouelle.
Mr Ouellet came to become established in the Eastern Townships to Arthabaska, an important business company, which fell into the hands of his son, Jean-Baptiste Ouellet, and later to the son of this last one, Raymond Ouellet.
