La grange Pesant a été construite pour le compte du sénateur William Owens en 1907. Ce dernier avait établi à Montebello une ferme modèle pour l'élevage de chevaux Clydesdale et de vache Ayrshire. Il a reçu la médaille d'argent du mérite agricole pour la grange en 1908. En 1917, la famille Owens vend la ferme de 500 acres à Joseph Pesant. Celui-ci exploite la ferme jusqu'en 1953, année où il la divisa entre ses fils Rolland et Rosario. Depuis 1959, la ferme où est située la grange est la propriété de Gérard Pesant, fils de Rosario. La grange est citée comme immeuble patrimonial le 16 mai 2016 par la municipalité de Montebello.
