The City of Dorval Officially Purchases the Property at 12 Dahlia Avenue
It was on June 9 that the sale of the property located at 12 Dahlia Avenue was concluded between the City of Dorval and the sisters of the Congrégation de Notre-Dame.
The City is pleased to have acquired this magnificent property located on the shores of Lake Saint-Louis, in order to protect the historical and heritage character of the part of the building known as the "Quatre Vents" manor as established by its regulations. The building adjoining this manor, where the sisters of the Congrégation de Notre-Dame-de-la-visitation resided, will be assessed over the next year to identify the City's options for its future use.
In the meantime, the members of council are proud to inform citizens that the council meeting of June 20 will be held in the chapel of the residence, while being offered by live webcast as usual.
The residence "Quatre Vents" is a building of great importance in Dorval, as it was the home of Désiré Girouard, the first mayor of Dorval Village in 1892. He inherited the house in 1873, enlarged and renovated it, and, since the winds came from the four cardinal points, he gave it the name “Quatre Vents” (Four Winds).
