This property was first developed in 1938 as a seminary to train missionaries for work in Africa. Les Pères Blancs (Missionnaires d'Afrique) owned and operated the facility from 1938 to 1974. In that period approximately 700 students received training at the facility. The seminary and its practice of teaching in the French language was the only one of its kind to be established in Canada. The public library building constructed in 1951 for "Les Soeurs Antoniennes de Marie" is stylistically similar to the now demolished principal building built in 1938.
