Photography
Black and white photography. Black and white photograph. From the Bordeaux railway bridge, view of the Rivière des Prairies rapids (Gros-Sault) and the Bon-Pasteur community mill (formerly the Crochet mill) in Laval-des-Rapides. The Moulin du Crochet (named for the hook-shaped bank on which it stands) was built by the Séminaire de Québec in 1805-1806. Powered by the rapids of the Rivière des Prairies, the mill supplied flour to the Séminaire de Québec. In 1895, the Good Shepherd Sisters acquired a vast plot of land on which the Crochet mill was built. The mill was demolished in 1930 following the construction of a dam on the Rivière des Prairies, which led to the flooding of buildings in this part of Laval-des-Rapides.
