The building dates back to 1942 and is located on a beautifully landscaped estate on the banks of the Rivière à la Loutre. Such lakeside properties were uncommon at the time. The English Cottage-style house was built by Mr. Angelo Petosa. Its foundation is made of stone and its exterior walls are made of fieldstones and clapboard.

This sumptuous construction gives us a glimpse of what the mid-20th century middle class could build.

DID YOU KNOW ?

The house was inhabited by Mrs. Virginie Dussault, who was Mr. Angelo Petosa’s wife and who was the first woman from the Témiscamingue region to publish a novel: Amour vainqueur. She also made important donations to the parish of St-Bruno-de-Guigues.
