From a plaque on the front of the hotel:
"Shouldice Hotel
Built as a two-and-a-half storey hotel and bakery by George Shouldice, this building sheltered market residents during the Stony Monday riot of September 17, 1849, when Roman Catholic reformers and protestant conservatives clashed. The much-altered stone building housed the Richeelieu Hotel for most o the 20th century."
Texte de la plaque sur le devant de l'hôtel:
«L'Hôtel Shouldice»
Construit par George Shouldice, qui y aménagea un hôtel et une boulangerie, cet immeuble en pierre de deux étages et demi servit de refuge aux résidents du marché lors des émeutes du Stony Monday qui opposèrent réformistes catholiques et protestants conservateurs le 17 septembre 1849. Maintes fois modifié, il fut occupé par l'hôtel Richelieu pendant la plus grande partie du XXe siècle.»
