Plaque text and image (if available): In 1908, Albert Mitchell, a successful entrepreneur, purchased lot 85 on which a house already stood. In 1915, he gave it the appearance it has today. Its architectural style is inspired by the Neo-Greek design, very popular for commercial buildings at the end of the last century. This building features a gabled street front façade, extended by an open veranda, and topped by a balcony leading to the upper floor. The ornamentation includes a facade adorned with a cornice forming a large pediment in the centre of which is a half-window. This structure is one of the rare examples of Neo-Greek style-inspired architecture found in Pointe-Claire.. Albert Mitchell, the owner, used to rent this house. Doctor Alexandre Bourgeau lived and ran his practice here from 1924 to 1930.
