The place is surprising. This old rooming house next to an old railway was, in another era, the nerve center of this small village in Eastern Townships. Abandoned for over fifty years according to some, it remained intact and time has slowly...
Judging by the price on these old gas pumps, there is no doubt about the fact that they are abandoned long ago. If you look carefully at the left pump, it shows 68.4 ¢ per gallon (approximately 18 cents per liter), and the right one (probably...
