Title: Former stable of the Riordon company in the MRC d'Antoine-Labelle
Note

Former stable of the Riordon company in the MRC d'Antoine-Labelle In 1912, the Geo. H. Perley Company of Ottawa owned 1613 square kilometers of forest. When it divested its stumpage rights on the Red River to Riordon Paper Co., Riordon Paper Co. closed all of the buildings on the side of the current Landry Street: sawmill, stable and employee residences. To facilitate the transport of goods, Riordon decided to build its stable near the railway siding. The ground floor housed the horses necessary for the transport of the goods and on the second floor, provisions for the construction sites, including hay, oats, beans and molasses were stored. The stable is built of spruce boards. In 1922, the Canadian International Paper (CIP) acquired the Riordon Company. In 1957, the CIP no longer needed the stable and sold it to a citizen of L’Annunciation.
