• Notes

  Early tax assessments indicate that Auguste Deguise was the first owner and first grocery store occupant at this site. In 1876, he represented the Ottawa Ward on the municipal council. The continuously operating corner store was owned by the Poirier family for several generations from the 1920s to the 1970s. D’anciennes évaluations d’impôts indiquent qu’Auguste Deguise fut le premier propriétaire de l’édifi ce ainsi que de la première épicerie de ce lieu. En 1876, il représenta le quartier d’Ottawa au conseil municipal. Ce dépanneur a été la propriété de la famille Poirier pour plusieurs générations, sans interruption, entre les année 1920 et 1970.
