The town of Contrecœur

The picture shows the town of Contrecœur. It was likely taken from the Lafayette factory roof. In the background, we see the Joseph Papin ltée factory as well as the luxurious house built by Joseph Papin II. In the foreground, we see houses and businesses on St-Antoine and des Manufactures streets.

This picture of the town of Contrecœur gives us a glimpse of the Joseph Papin ltée factory, built in 1921.  Given the angle of the photograph, it appears to have been taken from the roof of the Lafayette factory.  To the left, in the background, we see the luxurious home built by Joseph Papin II.
