Starting in 1931, because of insufficient workspace, the Radium Institute rented two buildings next to Maisonneuve’s former Town Hall. Located at 1875–1891 Pie-IX Boulevard, these were built in 1906 by Charles-Aimé Reeves who had also resided there. A great architect, Reeves was also the grandfather of famous astrophysicist Hubert Reeves. The photograph also shows the entrance of the alleyway leading to the duplex rented by the Grey Nuns.
