    • Joseph-Ovide, qui avait la charge du commerce d’épiceries, de liqueurs et de glace, était très jeune lorsqu'il arriva a Ottawa avec sa famille. II étudia au College de Bytown en même temps que le futur Mgr Duhamel. Après avoir passé quelque temps en dehors de la ville, il revint ici en 1871 et c’est probablement vers cette époque qu’il ouvrit son commerce. Il mourut en 1902. Il avait été I’un des fondateurs du club libéral canadien-français d’Ottawa.

  • Notes 
    • While the first use was as a grocery store, by 1901, Joseph O. Charlebois was operating as an ice dealer and hotel keeper on this corner. From its early days, this brick building
      was a significant presence on both streets. Between 1930 and 1960, the Canadian National Bank occupied the building with its diagonal corner entrance. The building, heavily damaged during a 1977 fire at the nearby Lasalle Hotel, has lost its original mansard roof.

      251 Dalhousie/253 St. Patrick (1878)
      Bien que l’édifice fût au début une épicerie, Joseph O. Charlebois opérait également un marché de glace et un hôtel partir de 1901. Depuis les premières années de sa construction, cet édifi ce en brique avait une présence imposante sur les deux rues de l’intersection. De 1930 1960, la Banque Canadienne Nationale occupait cet édifi ce avec cette porte d’entrée en diagonale. Cet édifi ce, lourdement endommagé par le feu de 1977 l’hôtel Lasalle situé tout près, a perdu son toit d’origine la Mansart [2]
