RACICOT, J.C. (fl. 1854-56) of Montreal, Que. was recorded as an early business partner with the important Montreal architect Michel Laurent, and it is possible that Laurent may have served an apprenticeship under him, either as a carpenter or as a draughtsman. Their partnership was first recorded in January 1854 but it had been dissolved by March 1856 and Laurent then launched his own successful career.
