6878 Rue St-Denis, Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie, Montreal

Probably the first house victorienne with being built in the sector of the Small Fatherland and surely the last with being renovated. Only one family lived there. The father who was contractor it built with his employees (1919 and 1920). All is D `origin. Floors, woodworks, doors are of oak with a grid. Of an astonishing richness! Solid! Improvements were carried out during the last years: - Roof of the building and the garage remakes 2000 - the joints of the wall of the garage remakes 2000 - To change the furnace 2002 as well as the oil 2011 tank - the joints of the wall to the back of the house as of the chimney (of 15 feet) completely remade in 2011. New concrete crown at the entry of the chimney, as replacement of 2 lintels in lower part of the windows We believe as zoning is at the same time residential and commercial but that remains to be checked. As mentioned in the remark and as you can note it by the photographs there are many things to make!! - Plumbing, electricity, walls and ceilings But this house with an incredible potential! Characteristics of the interior: - The floors of solid oak were never sanded nor varnished!! Only of beeswax was affixed!! - All the air-heaters are out of cast iron - All poignés of doors are out of crystal - All the strap hinges, the handles of door, the interior movement (to open them) are out of copper - All the mirrors are bevelled - 2 coats of CH. decorative in the living room and dining room with basket of Arcanson! (for an effect of burning coal) - the walls of the hall, boudoir, dining room, corridor on the 2nd level are covered with a skirting which is called of the Lincrusta.
