Description: George Chahoon was born in Ausable Forks, NY in 1872, and educated in Glenn Falls. He came to Canada in October 1902 at the invitation of William Van Horne (210). An important figure in the pulp and paper industry, he was a director of Howard Smith Paper Mills Ltd. and Dryden Paper Co. But, most importantly, he was the local director (1902-1932) of the Laurentide Pulp and Paper Co. (126, 481) at their Grand-M�re Mills (30 miles upriver from Trois-Rivi�res, on the Saint-Maurice). Grand-M�re being a company town, and the house originally built for Mr. Russell Alger (251) in 1897-1898, it is unclear if Chahoon built this extension on his behalf or with the company�s backing. By all means a fascinating illustration of log construction, with quite respectable amenities, the house was extended to the rear, adding mainly of a service spaces, but keeping the front fa�ade mostly untouched. During the 1920�s, the Laurentide Paper Co. was merged with its then immediate competition, the Belgo of Shawinigan Falls, to create the Consolidated Paper Co., known to locals as the ''Consol''. Although many company houses for managers survive in Grand-M�re, this one was eventually demolished in the 1960�s; a small visitor�s pavilion in the same style is still standing on the property. See Tr�panier, Paul. ''Une ville: Grand-M�re.'' Continuit�. No. 49 (Winter/Spring 1991), p. 46-52.

5 Drawings: 3 pencil on paper; 2 watercolour on paper
5 Development drawings: floor plans, elevations
