Cette demeure en bordure du fleuve Saint-Laurent est érigée en 1710 pour la congrégation de Notre-Dame. À cette époque, les religieuses possèdent le fief de Verdun.

La communauté vend son fief ainsi que la résidence en pierre au négociant montréalais Étienne Nivard de Saint-Dizier en 1769. Étienne Nivard de Saint-Dizier fils (vers 1766-1820) hérite ensuite de ces terres. Très actif à Montréal, ce dernier est successivement juge de paix, commissaire pour la construction du nouveau marché de Montréal, député de Montréal-Ouest, commissaire de la maison de correction et commissaire pour les réparations du chemin de Lachine. Après son décès en 1820, la maison passe entre plusieurs mains. Elle est notamment la propriété d'Antoine-Olivier Berthelet (1798-1872), homme d'affaires, philanthrope et député de Montréal-Est.

Lors de la construction du complexe immobilier Crawford Park en 1930, la demeure est acquise par la Ville de Verdun pour servir d'entrepôt. Restauré en 1940, l'édifice sert de local pour le club social Crawford entre 1940 et 1947, puis accueille la filiale 202 Crawford Park de la Légion royale canadienne.

Translated from the above noted text:

This house on the edge of the St. Lawrence River was built in 1710 for the Congregation of Notre-Dame. At that time, the nuns owned the fiefdom of Verdun.

The community sold its fiefdom and the stone residence to the Montreal merchant Étienne Nivard de Saint-Dizier in 1769. Étienne Nivard de Saint-Dizier fils (circa 1766-1820) then inherited these lands. Very active in Montreal, the latter was successively a justice of the peace, commissioner for the construction of the new Montreal market, deputy for Montreal West, commissioner of the correctional house and commissioner for repairs to Lachine Road. After his death in 1820, the house passed into several hands. It is notably the property of Antoine-Olivier Berthelet (1798-1872), businessman, philanthropist and Member of Parliament for Montreal East.

During the construction of the Crawford Park real estate complex in 1930, the house was acquired by the City of Verdun to serve as a warehouse. Restored in 1940, the building served as premises for the Crawford Social Club between 1940 and 1947, then housed the 202 Crawford Park branch of the Royal Canadian Legion.
