The original asphalt siding and full length porch remain, harkening back to days when passengers would line the platform. The new owners have replaced the windows with modern sashes, but otherwise have retained the charm of the old depot, including the station signs hanging from the eaves.
Bourget is a village in eastern Ontario, Canada, near the Cobbs Lake Creek, in the city of Clarence-Rockland in the United Counties of Prescott and Russell.
The old M & O Railway was named because it traveled between Montreal and Ottawa.
The only surviving Ontario station on the M&O is in Bourget. The station is now a private residence.
