(#41) 142-144 N. Champlain Street /c.1872 /Bouregard Meat Market
This two-story 4 x 4 bay, gable front, brick, Italianate, building faces west and is on the southeast corner of North and North Champlain Streets. Paired brackets with drops support the cornice. The replacement windows are 1/1 double sash with wood cornice caps. The store front has a canted entrance flanked on either side by plate glass windows that have been modified with permastone. The entrance to the second floor apartment (south of the store entrance) is also modified with permastone. The foundation is stone; the wall structure is balloon; the roofing is slate. There is a central cement block chimney.
This Italianate structure was built c.1872. In 1899 it became the Bouregard Meat Market and residence for Mrs. Louis Bouregard, who had previously lived and operated a grocery business with her husband at 120 North Street. This was a prime commercial site. Both North and Champlain Streets were beginning to build up into residential areas with the growth of the new lumber industry at the waterfront. There was a strong market for this type of neighborhood store. It housed Vincent's Shoe Store from 1902-33, only the second business here in over 50 years. A Vietnamese family of five is living here on the second floor where they are running a business as well. The first floor is vacant.
