Cornwall - Jul. 28, 2011 - Each week OurHometown.ca will post an old photo from our area. This week we are featuring a photo of the old Hotel Dieu Hospital on Water Street. This site later became the McDonell Memorial Hospital and is a Seniors residence today. Notice the canal was where Water Street is today.

OurHometown.ca would love to hear stories about the reasoning behind the filling of the canal. Old photos would be appreciated too!
