Welcome to the Hutline
The Hutline is a site devoted to the Old Boys of Weredale House. The primary goal is to use this site as a funnel for contacting old boys all over the world, to show statistics and to reflect in photos. Anybody that was in this Home is truly an old boy, whether you're feeling it or not, good shape or bad, the numbers tell the story.
The Boys Home of Montreal was founded in 1870 and finally closed in 1977. There must have been thousands of kids passing through its doors. For some it was a hell on earth. With its line ups and check offs and almost daily brawls, it congured feelings of being in jail. But for others it was all they had, like it or not, this was your home! Good or bad, this place took a piece of your lives and this site will help to reflect those times.

I got an email from an old boy mentioning that he can remember a certain old boy being the dental assistant for in house appointments. I can relate to this as I was the dental assistant for my last two years in the home. The boy he mentioned in the email was incredibly busy and accomplished so much. I linked his Obituary in the Links section of this site.
