This two-storey wood frame in St. Adolphe was built in 1914 by the Landry family, who operated a general store in it for many years. In the 1940s, the building housed a Co-op store. In 1962, it was purchased by Maurice and Maria Fifi, at which point it was known as the Magasin General. Maria served as the local postmistress until 1978 when they sold the property. In the 1990s, it was used as a youth centre. It was converted to a private residence around 2005.
