| Notes |
- The Desrosiers family had a commercial enterprise here from the late 1890s. When they changed from groceries to drugs, this building was occupied successively by Ernest Rive Desrosiers followed by Ernest René Desrosiers. Other druggists followed - Thomas Payment (onetime Ottawa mayor) and Hermas F. Brisson (grandfather of Jean Brisson, now at the corner of Murray). In 2008, this building was altered to accommodate a low rise infill project, winner of a City of Ottawa Urban Design Award.
La famille Desrosiers avait une entreprise commerciale ici depuis la fin des années 1890. Lorsqu’il a changé de vocation, d’épicerie pharmacie, l’édifice fut occupé successivement par Ernest Rive Desrosiers, suivi par Ernest René Desrosiers. D’autres pharmaciens
ont suivi – Thomas Payment (Maire d’Ottawa pour un mandat) et Hermas F. Brisson (grand-père de Jean Brisson, maintenant au coin de la rue Murray). En 2008, cet édifice a été modifié pour accommoder un projet d’aménagements intercalaires de faible hauteur, gagnant du prix de l’esthétique urbaine d’Ottawa.
