Scope & content
Interpretation panel at 3953-3955, boulevard Saint-Laurent, from the series « La Main, toujours de son temps – Sherbrooke/Mont-Royal / The Main, Forever in Tune – Sherbrooke/Mont-Royal » installed by Les Amis du boulevard Saint-Laurent in 2010. L’édifice modeste de deux étages à l’angle du boulevard Saint-Laurent et de la rue Napoléon est construit avant 1890 . Au tournant du 20 e siècle, il est loué à H. Sylvestre, qui y opère une quincaillerie au rez-de-chaussée et réside à l’étage. Le propriétaire est Hilaire Corbeil, dont l’épicerie et le domicile sont dans le bâtiment adjacent. Entre 1912 et 1981, il appartient à la Zenda Realties Corporation, une compagnie de William Levy, et à l’ingénieur et assureur Henri-Étienne Lautelet. Lors de cette période, le 3953-3955 Saint-Laurent abrite diverses activités. En 1914, le café Napoléon occupe le rez-de-chaussée, et entre 1915 et 1921, la Star Furniture Company, puis l’American Furniture Company, s’y établissent. La papeterie de J. Costiner, qui réside à l’étage, occupe le commerce pendant les deux déc ennies suivantes. En 1945, Jack Seligman réside dans l’appartement et le rez-de-chaussée est occupé successivement par Jack’s Store, puis Jack’s Horse Shoe Bar, puis Al’s Snack Bar jusqu’en 1955, année où Herion Textile Jobbers Ltd. s’y installe. L’étage est alors loué à Barna Ltd., un manufacturier d’équipement ménager. Pendant les années 1970, ses locataires incluent Community Switchboard Information Services, puis l’Association chilienne. Mais les occupants les plus inoubliables de l’édifice ont été Simcha et Fany Leibovitch . Ils y ont ouvert Simcha’s Fruit Market en 1967, quand le marché Saint-Jean-Baptiste, où auparavant ils vendaient des fruits, ferme. Ils achètent la propriété en 1 981 et opèrent leur magasin jusqu’à leur décès respectif, en 2004 et 2005. La bijouterie Rosas occupe le coin depuis. The modest two-storey edifice at the northeast corner of Saint-Laurent Boulevard and Napoleon Street was built before 1890. At the turn of the 20 th century, it was rented to H. Sylvestre, who ran a hardware store on the ground floor and lived upstairs, and owned by Hilaire Corbeil, whose grocery store and home were next door. From 1912 until 1981, the property was owned by Zenda Realties Corporation, a company of William Levy, and engineer and insurance broker Henri-Étienne Lautelet. During that time, 3953-3955 Saint-Laurent has housed a variety of activities. In 1914, the ground floor was occupied by Napoleon Café, and from 1915 until 1921, it was the home of Star Furniture Company, then American Furniture Company. For the next two decades, it housed the stationery store of J. Costiner, who lived upstairs. In 1945, Jack Seligman took over the apartment, and the shop housed Jack’s Store, then Jack’s Horse Shoe Bar, then Al’s Snack Bar until 1955, when it was rented by Herion Textile Jobbers Ltd. The second floor was rented by Barna Ltd., a household equipment manufacturer; in the 1970s, its tenants included Community Switchboard Information Services and the Chilian Association. But the building’s most memorable occupants were Simcha and Fany Leibovitch . They established Simcha’s Fruit Market at 3953 Saint-Laurent in 1967, when the Saint-Jean-Baptiste Market, where they previously sold their produce, was closing. The couple bought the property in 1981 and ran their store until they died, in 2004 and 2005 respectively. Rosas Jewellers has since taken its place.
