Eglise St-Joachim (1/2) | Chateauguay Today
St-Joachim Church of Chateauguay
This St-Joachim church (with its two central symmetrical windows, bell tower and oval window) dates back to the 1770s. The Chateauguay area had already been settled for 100 years. Charles Lemoyne had been granted the seigneury of Chateauguay in 1673. We know that in that earliest period there had been a St-Joachim chapel on Ile-Ste-Bernard and that by the 1730s there was a wooden church built near the present site on Youville Blvd.

Methodist Centenary Church | Montreal
The Methodist Centenary Church – home church of the Harveys in the early twentieth century – served the rapidly expanding, working-class district of The Point – officially known as Point St. Charles. This is the church where Marmaduke Lawrence Harvey was baptised. Unfortunately the building was destroyed on Christmas Day in 1911.

Montreal’s Spectacular Christmas Day Fire – The exterior of the West End Methodist Church as it looked after the disastrous Christmas Day fire had been extinguished by Montreal’s heroic fire laddies, man of whom were severely frost-bitten while fighting the flames. (Photo by J.F. Cook).
Click on the image to your left and you can go see a larger version of this – and many other images – of Montreal from the Massicotte Collection. Edouard-Zotique Massicotte was a very interesting gentleman who collected images of Montreal buildings – including newspaper clippings, postcards and photographs – over a fifty year period form 1870 to 1920. What is really fascinating is that he placed these into albums which were organized street by street. What a great resource today for local historians!

Vintage Postcard: Amos, Quebec: Sainte-Therese d’Avila Cathedral.
This is an early twentieth-century view (1930s?) of Amos (region of Abitibi-Temiscamingue). In the background you can see the famous domed cathedral of Ste-Therese d’Avila.
Large areas of Quebec continued to be colonized well into the twentieth century – and Amos is an example of this. It’s called “Le Berceau de L’Abitibi” – the Cradle of Abitibi, and was officially established only in 1910. It will be interesting to see what family surnames appear on the 1921 Canadian Census when it’s released to the public – although I know that the very first settlers were Turcottes.
