Antoine Pilon's House.
This house, on 258 Lakeshore Rd in Pointe Claire (Montreal),
Quebec, was built in 1706 and still stands today. It was occupied by
four generations of the Pilon family for 120 years. Restored in 1979
by Andre Charbonneau and who today still owns the property. It remains
as one of the oldest homes in Montreal.

Parc Pilon. 200m west
of Antoine Pilon's ancestral home is riverfront Parc Pilon. This plaque
identifies Antoine as the founding pioneer of today's Pointe Claire, just
west of downtown Montreal. Originally forest, then farmed under Antoine,
the area became the City of Point Claire. Today the neighborhood is a
western suburb of Montreal filled with quaint shops and cafes well
worthy of exploration. |
