The Genfoot factory around 1925

This picture shows the Charron Factory shortly after its construction in 1924. A dirt road leads to the main entrance. No other structure can be seen nearby. It is a brick building with four storeys that appears to be located in the middle of a field.

This picture, taken shortly after the building’s construction, illustrates well the town of Contrecœur’s transformation through the lens of the shoe industry.
