1. La Maison Charlebois / The Charlebois House Marker
Cette très belle vieille maison est construite en deux étapes. L’arrière est réalisé en 1840 alors que l’avant a été complété en 1905. Son allure actuelle date de 1910.
En 1841, il est dit au Terrier Papineau que Bazile Charlebois a son emplacement sur la partie ouest du lot 34 où il possède un terrain de huit arpents. Les propriétaires résidants actuels sont de la 7è génération de cette famille Charlebois.
À la fin des années 1930, Éphrem Charlebois tient un commerce de cordonnerie. Pendant ses loisirs ce véritable « cordonnier savant » a monté un herbier de très grande qualité scientifique. Il collabore avec le frère Marie Victorin célèbre auteur de la « Flore laurentienne ».
En 1968, il a donné son herbier à l’Université de Sherbrooke.
Par ailleurs, Monsieur Charlebois a également été bedeau de la paroisse pendant cinq ans !
Ce bien est cité immeuble patrimonial. La protection s’applique à l’enveloppe extérieure du bâtiment.
