Chateau a Pape Destroyed

February 1st, 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments

The community of Moncton lost a historic architecture this past weekend. The century old building which housed a 4 generation family owned restaurant “Le Chateau a Pape” went up in flames in the early hours of Saturday morning. An RCMP officer spotted smoke coming out of the kitchen window while getting ready to leave at the end of his shift. Two hours later firefighters lost the battle to save the structure and could only try to contain the fire from areal towers. This is a sad day for the community and I wish the Gosselin family a good recovery.

I thought I would share a few pictures of the building that I took while shooting a wedding a few months ago.

There are pictures of the destruction in the Times & Transcript article here: http://timestranscript.canadaeast.com/front/article/939464

One of my pictures was posted in a National Post article:
