History of Le Chien d'Or
The place where is located the art gallery Le Chien d'Or has borne the same name for over 100 years. It all began in the early part of the 20th century. The café Le Chien d'Or was the first business to open its doors in 1904. A mere 30 years later, during the 1940s, the Noonan family, from Ireland, took possession of the place and turned it into the tavern Le Chien d'Or. Then, in 1979, Mr. Lauréat Veilleux transformed the place into an art gallery. His son, Mr. Jean-Claude Veilleux, took over as owner of the gallery until 2010. For more than 30 years, post stamps, antique books, and art pieces can be discovered at the gallery. On November 1st, 2010, Anne Lemieux became the third owner of the art gallery Le Chien d'Or; which, to this day, has retained the same name for 106 years!
