«La propriété compte la maison John-Egan datant de 1840 et l'ancien monastère des Pères rédemptoristes datant de 1937. En 1909, Robert W. Wright devient propriétaire de la résidence et fait construire d'immenses serres pour approvisionner son magasin de fleurs. En 1937, la propriété est vendue à la congrégation des Pères rédemptoristes qui amorce la construction d'un grand monastère attenant à la maison John-Egan. En 1978, les Pères rédemptoristes transforment le monastère en centre pastoral d'accueil et d'animation. Le site loge aujourd'hui une école privée, l'école Montessori de l'Outaouais, ainsi que des résidences pour personnes âgées, notamment dans les trois ailes construites récemment.»

Translated from the above noted text:

“The property includes the John-Egan House dating from 1840 and the former Monastery of the Redemptorist Fathers dating from 1937. In 1909, Robert W. Wright became the owner of the residence and built huge greenhouses to supply his flower shop. In 1937, the property was sold to the congregation of the Redemptorist Fathers who began construction of a large monastery adjoining the John-Egan house. In 1978, the Redemptorist Fathers transformed the monastery into a pastoral center of reception and animation. The site now houses a private school, the Montessori de l'Outaouais school, as well as residences for the elderly, particularly in the three wings recently built. ”
