POSTCARD Date: Not evident. Unposted. Publisher / Photographer: Lyall Commercial Notation: This was the home of one of St. Boniface's most revered inhabitants - James Emile Pierre Prendergast (1858 - 1945). Among his many contributions to the city and the Province, made personally and professionally, he was the MLA for Provencher from 1892-1896, the MLA for Woodlands from 1892-1896, and the Mayor of St. Boniface from 1893-1896. During his lifetime, Judge Prendergast had several residences. This photographer, Maurice Lyall, was primarily active from 1911 through 1913. During that period, the address of the Pendergast home was 85 Rue Notre Dame Street in St. Boniface. I am assuming that this house would have been located on an earlier portion of Notre Dame to the west of Tache - likely on the north side of the street. Further information on Judge Prendergast can be found at: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Prendergast_(Canadian_politician)

POSTCARD Date: Not evident. Unposted. Publisher / Photographer: Lyall Commercial Notation: In 1902, Archbishop Langevin had a wooden building constructed on Aleneau Street near the Normal School, as a residence for young women students. In 1904 it became the wotherhome for a new religious order that he began - the Mission Oblate Sisters of the Sacred Heart and Mary Immaculate. A substantial addition was made in 1909. In the 1950's the building was replaced with a new Oblate convent, at 601 Aulneau Street.
