4040 Boul. St-Martin O. Laval (chomedey), QC H7T1B9

This unique heritage property, built in the 1820s, occupies a strategic location: once a major North--South and East--West crossroads, local lore suggests it even served as a meeting place for the Patriotes during the Rebellions. In 1869, it became the notarial office of André-Benjamin Papineau, cousin of the famed Patriote Louis-Joseph Papineau. Fully restored, it was brought back to life in 2007 when the firm Luc M. Allard Architecte moved in. The location benefits from mixed zoning--commercial and residential. Ideal for architects, lawyers, notaries, accountants, dentists, aesthetic clinics, art galleries, and more.
