This was a community built in the early 1900's for the workers employed at this pulp factory.
In 1927 the factory closed and consequencely everyone left the community.
The general store.
Example of a house.
This community was one of the first in Quebec to have electric power in the house.
The houses are being restored to their original color, white with green trim.
These house are available to the general public to rent overnight.
BEWARE. Local legend has it that the community is haunted.
The interior of one of the houses.
The color reminded Paul of his own kitchen on the farm in Grand Falls.
Convent within the community.
This is the foundation where the church once was ( across from the convent)
When the community was abandoned the church was dismantled and the material was distributed to other communities for their churches.
