Maison Periard House

Émilien Périard and his wife Cornélie Sauvé left Vaudreuil with their two sons, Alcide and Émilien, in 1911 and settled in L'Orignal. They rented a plot of land on Longueuil Street, then bought it in 1914 to build a house at a cost of $5,000, and moved into their new home in 1915. The two sons later left L'Orignal to work in Ottawa and Montreal, but after his mother's death in 1921, Émilien returned to open a garage not far from his father's house on Longueuil Street while also helping his father, who was a saddler and shoemaker. In 1942, Émilien married Gabrielle Lamarche, and they had six children. The family shared the house on Longueuil Street with Grandfather Périard, and the home remained in the Périard family until 2018.
