Originally, the Hull West station of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CP) was near this site. The station now on site was built for the
Hull-Chelsea-Wakefield Railway which was a heritage railway that opened in 1992. Within three years, the Hull-Chelsea-Wakefield (HCW) Railway no longer used this portion of the former CP Lachute subdivision. HCW operations were restricted to the former CP Wakefield sub, north from
Laman Junction. This building would begin a new life as a restaurant (Laurier Sur Montcalm).
In 2016, the building is vacant. The building is not aging well. Faces on the clock tower are missing or faulty.
Tracks for the Lachute sub are still in situ although a rapid transit bus road is between the station building and the railroad.
