Lebel Mansion
HERITAGE SIGNIFICANCE
Timothee Lebel was one of the earliest and most influential businessmen in Pincher Creek. Shortly after he arrived in the town in 1884, he started a general merchandise store that became one of the largest in the region. The firm of Charles Kettles and Timothee Lebel served the community until 1917 when the business was closed. The above building, constructed by Mr. Lebel circa 1909 was his residence until October 1924 when he donated the building to Les Filles de Jesus for use as a hospital. The building formed the core of the St. Vincent's Hospital in Pincher Creek. This house, constructed of brick, demonstrates a certain amount of French Canadian-New Orleans influence.
