The grocery business was continued by the Hormidas Racine family whose son, Horace, became a well-known political and business fi gure in the community. Joseph Octave Bérubé était dans la début trentaine lorsqu’il bâtit ce large édifi ce en coin de pierre avec un toit la Mansart pour y loger sa jeune famille et son épicerie. L’épicerie fut ensuite gérée par la famille de Hormidas Racine dont le fi ls, Horace, fut un politicien et un homme d’affaire reconnu dans la communauté.
