Hudson retirement home – Résidence Esther Blondin

Some background

Since its constuction, the magnificent building has had several uses. From 1935 to 1948, the convent has been affiliated to the Université de Montréal et taught the Lettres-Sciences course. From 1948 to 1966, the establishment became École Normale Esther-Blondin which trained female teachers to the B and C certificates. Then, in 1967, it became home for the female students level IV and V of Collège Bourget. It was the property of the Sœurs de Ste-Anne until 1994. Today, it is a residence for elderly people.
