Français : Nous voyons une maison de la rue Saint-Augustin dans le quartier Saint-Henri à Montréal.

Cette maison est décrite dans le roman Bonheur d'occasion de Gabrielle Roy.
« Tout en traversant la rue Notre-Dame dirigez-vous vers la rue Saint-Augustin jusqu'à la rue Saint- Ambroise et à l'angle de ces rues (côté ouest) vous trouverez la maison de Jean Lévesque. Cette maison, qui a subi plusieurs transformations, a toujours pignon sur rue. II est intéressant de noter qu'il existe un ensemble de sérigraphies sur le quartier de Saint-Henri que la célèbre peintre japonaise Miyuki Tanobe a immortalisé dont une, intitulée La Maison de Jean Lévesque.

« La maison où Jean avait trouvé un petit garni se trouvait immédiatement devant le pont tournant de la rue Saint-Augustin... Étroite de façade, la maison se présentait drôlement à la rue; de biais comme si elle eût voulu amortir tous les chocs qui l'ébranlaient. Ses murs de côtés s'écartaient en V. ...mais la maison n'était pas seulement sur le chemin des cargos. Elle était aussi sur la route des voies ferrées... » (ch. II) » – sthenri.tripod.com
English: This house on Saint-Augustin Street in the Saint-Henri neighborhood of Montreal as described in The Tin Flute by Gabrielle Roy:

"While crossing Notre-Dame Street, go towards Saint-Augustin Street to Saint-Ambroise Street and at the corner of these streets (west side) you will find Jean Lévesque's house" ... "The house where Jean had found a little garni was immediately in front of the swinging bridge in the Rue Saint-Augustin ... With a narrow facade, the house sat oddly on the street; skewed as if she wanted to dampen all the shocks that shook her. Its side walls diverged in V. ... but the house was not only on the way to the cargo ships. She was also on the road of the railways ... " (Chapter II)

This house, which has undergone several transformations, is still well established. It is interesting to note that there is a set of serigraphs on the Saint-Henri district that the famous Japanese painter Miyuki Tanobe has immortalized, one of which is entitled The House of Jean Lévesque.

Object history In 1968, following the death of Conrad Poirier, Guy Côté, filmmaker and film collector, acquired this holdings. In 1972, he give the majority of the photographs of the holdings at the Bibliothèque nationale du Québec, which transfers the same year, the Archives nationales du Québec in Montreal. At the time, Mr. Côté, a founder of the Cinémathèque québécoise, kept some of his personal papers in the offices of the organization. In the late 1990s, about 1,000 negatives attributed to Conrad Poirier and corresponding to the series "News" and "Radio" Conrad Poirier holdings were found at the Cinémathèque québécoise, having probably been misplaced before the original donation by Guy Côté in 1972. Following the identification of the negatives, the Cinémathèque has transferred them to the Archives nationales du Québec in 1999.
