Sylvan Lake Stone House Cafe Painting By Aeris Osborne

2022 Alberta Artist-In-Residence Project- It is my 8th of the 10 Alberta Old Buildings series.

Story:

The Stone House on 46th Street was built in 1913 by Mr. Auguste (Lucky) Loquet. He and his sister Selena immigrated from their farm in St. Omer, near Dunkerque, France. He originally homesteaded near Third Point. He was an avid hunter and trapper and worked in logging camps. He and his sister tried to live off the wild animals and birds of the area and practiced a fair amount of taxidermy. His sister kept the house for him as Auguste never married. He was a wonderful story teller and lived to be in his 90’s. After his sister died he lived with the Balfontaine (Bellfontaine) family.

As stated in the Sylvan Lake News, January 5th, this historic building has since been occupied as a residence, café, retail outlet, art gallery, framing store and a day spa. (Credit: Today Ville)
