The buildings of Hôtel-Dieu in 1908 (ph_692)

The French styled roof with garrets of the monastery resembled that of the brick building constructed in 1889. Floors, beams and other panelling were made of pine and spruce. In 1910, the carpenters were Lévite Michaud, Joseph Clavet, Joseph Michaud and Rémi Michaud. John Lynch did the rough-casting and Alfred Pelletier, the painting. The plumbing was contracted to Auguste Dugal. In 1911, the workers moved forward in the interior but they had to stop in 1912, because the construction of the chapel and boarding school had the priority. The Sisters had to wait until 1914 or 1915 before moving there permanently.
