Built Heritage of the Time

The Doctors' House

Through the various styles of Tring-Jonction's built heritage, the Quebec Central railway company left its English mark. These houses that maintained their old charm contribute to our history's evolution.
This one is a four-square-style house. It usually is a 2.5-storey, square-shaped house with 4 rooms on each floor. It boasts a four-sided roof with a gable or dormer window on its façade. This majestic house was the home of the municipality's first three doctors:
Dr. Georges-Albert Daigle, 1950 - 1952,
Dr. Georges-Albert Gauthier, 1952 - 1960 and
Dr. Jean-Charles Beaulieu, 1960 to June 30, 1994
Lots of teeth pulled out and injections administered. Ouch!
