This Second Empire-style house dates back to about 1850. Its first occupant would have been the blacksmith Stanislas Normandeau, whose family members practiced the same trade on Jesus Island, now Laval, at that time.

The site was successively occupied by the bakers Joseph-Alcide St-Pierre, Henri Brodeur, Horace Bertrand and Léonard Bouchard. The last batch of bread came out of the oven in the 1950s. One of Léonard’s sons then started his own business, Excavation Bouchard, in 1955.

Located in the sector of exceptional heritage value of the village core of Sainte-Geneviève, the house is now the subject of a demolition request from the borough, as reported by the local historical society on its Facebook page (in French), which has also produced a short video explaining the history of this ancestral house. The decision is still pending as the borough is currently consulting experts on the issue; the decision should be known in February 2021.

The demolition permit was ultimately approved by the borough, and the house was demolished in 2022.
