The executive quarter, a prestigious crescent

The neighborhood from the air!

Also on the left, in the center, is the Carmichael Roman Catholic School, and in the foreground, near Osisko Lake, the opulent home of Henry Roscoe, who was assistant general manager of the Horne mine from 1926 to 1931, before being appointed general manager, a position he held until 1948.
