A fire gutted this beautiful house that was converted into a business in Saint-Henri, on rue Saint-Jacques and rue Lacasse. You can see how it looked like before the fire in the last photo taken from Google Maps.
I also included a small video clip of the destroyed stone building.

Thanks for the tip. I took some cool photos and will post them soon.
ReplyDeleteOh no!
ReplyDeleteI used to live on Lacasse. That building was exceptionnal! This is sad.
One has to know it's been struck by a fire the same year the Saint-Elisabeth-du-Portugal church and appartments in front of the Home Depot burnt down. It's a big loss for the neighbourhood.
Saint-Henri is just too often struck by fires. Old buildings and lack of preventive restoration.
