Frances Anne Hopkins, an Unrecognized Woman
Do you know this woman? She once walked the ground under you feet. In fact, she lived in Lachine from 1858 to 1860 and spent the next eight years in Montreal. Frances Anne was born in England under the name of Beechey. At age 20, she married Edward Marin Hopkins, who held an important position in the Montreal Department of the Hudson’s Bay Company.
In 1870, the Art Association, ancestor of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, presented sixteen watercolours by Mrs. Hopkins. She also exhibited several times in England.
French:
Connaissez-vous cette femme? Elle a déjà foulé le sol sous vos pieds. En effet, elle a vécu à Lachine de 1858 à 1860 et a passé les huit années suivantes à Montreal. Frances Anne est née en Angleterre sous le nom de Beechey. À vingt ans, elle épouse Edward Martin Hopkins, qui occupe un poste important au Département de Montréal de la Compagnie de la Baie d’Hudson.
En 1870, l’Art Association, ancêtre du Musée des beaux-arts de Montreal, présente seize aquarelles de madame Hopkins. Celle-ci expose également à plusieurs reprises en Angleterre.
Frances Anne Hopkins, an Original Artist
English:
Frances Anne Hopkins lived at cross-currents with her era. Not only was she a woman artist, but she travelled the fur trade route from Lachine to Lake Superior. Instead of illustrating conquest and colonization, she chose to paint the events of everyday lives. In two of the opposite paintings, she depicts herself sketching on the canoe trip.
French:
Cette dame vit à contre-courant de son époque. Non seulement elle est une femme artiste, mais elle parcourt la route des fourrures de Lachine au lac Supérieur. Plutôt que d’illustre la conquête et la colonisation, elle choisit de peindre de événements du quotidien. Dans deux des tableaux ci-contre, elle se représente elle-même en train de dessiner un croquis au cours d’un voyage en canot.

St. Mary's Ukrainian Orthodox Church
Built in the 1820's by a lawyer named William Hotchkiss. The Long House, his home was the center of social activity after the War of 1812. The Short House was his law office.
After Union General Wallace ordered the covered bridge burned, the railroad bridge became the only route of escape for Lieutenant Davis and his men, who were seperated from the rest of the Union forces by the river. His troops fought bravely all morning and afternoon, but by 4:00 p.m. the situation grew critical—the Confederates attacked with great force. Davis wrote, "It seemed we should be swept into the river." Overwhelmed, Davis ordered a retreat across the railroad bridge. Some of his men were shot before reaching the bridge, some fell through the bridge ties, but most escaped with Davis unharmed.
By 1798, pioneers had begun settling in this area. Around 1835, a small community was formed and named Gamaliel, after a teacher in the New Testament. In 1836, John Hayes and James Crawford donated 10 acres of land for community development. On this land a log school, which was also used as a church, was built in 1840. (OVER)

East North Broadway Historic District
North Broadway was platted by the Loren and Dennison Company in 1890.
East North Broadway originally extended from High Street to the Big Four Railroad
(Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus and St. Louis RR, later the New York Central), one mile
east, where it terminated with a depot and post office. The intersection with Calumet
Street (also known as Beech Hill) was originally designed with a landscaped circle in the
center of the intersection with the road around it. The traffic circle was removed, but
evidence of it remains where the sidewalks mark the outer edges of the circle.
