2019-12-29 - In the late 1800s the house was purchased by Sir Alexander Tilloch Galt, a politician and a father of Canadian Confederation. In 1902, the residence was bought funeral directors by Joseph C. Wray & Bros. and converted into a funeral home. It was used for decades as such, handling some of Montreal’s most important burial services for the English Protestant community. In 1970, the company moved to a new facility on University Street and the funeral home was abandoned. Once the site of the William Wray & Bros. Funeral Home, the building was used for decades by coroners and funeral directors until being sold and vacated in 1970 and converted into the nightclub "Club Le Cinq." It is reputed to be one of the most haunted buildings in Montreal. -Database Manager
