Red brick house erected in 1867 and classified as a heritage building. This building was inhabited for more than 50 years by Charles-Nérée Beauchemin (1850-1931), doctor and poet. Beauchemin is considered a great name in Quebec literature and one of the first writers of the Terroir school, to which we associate themes on the homeland, nature and religion. This house was built for Charles Gérin-Lajoie (1824-1895), deputy, farmer and grain merchant; he used it for residential and commercial purposes. From 1877 to 1931, it was used as a residence and medical office for doctors Hyacinthe and Charles-Nérée Beauchemin. The annex was built in 1915, serving as a pharmacy.
