"Début des années 1830. Un certain James Forbes fait construire cet édifice à des fins de location commerciale. Le bâtiment est par la suite agrandi puis transformé en caserne afin d’y abriter une garnison anglaise entre 1837 et 1840. Ces militaires prennent part à la bataille de Saint-Eustache et tentent d’écraser le soulèvement des Patriotes canadiens."

"In the early 1830s, a gentleman named James Forbes had this building constructed for commercial rental purposes. It was then expanded and transformed into a barracks to house an English garrison from 1837 to 1840, soldiers who fought in the Battle of Saint-Eustache in an attempt to crush the Patriote’s uprising."
