Finding a Surname through an address - Montreal

Hi, I am listing this thread from the UK.. For several years now I have been trying to trace a surname to continue with a family search, but have only come to dead ends. Can anyone help please? I am looking for a Mimi, female, surname unknown. In June 1927 she lived at this address in Montreal, the writing is from an envelope and it is very unclear - 523 Outremont Avenue, Outremont, Montreal, Quebec. For years I have read this as Sutremont, however I now think it is Outremont. All I know about Mimi is that she was probably born around 1900. She had a French accent and a brother who studied at Harvard to become a Doctor. He did not have a French accent. Mimi worked in an office. In May 1927 she was involved in an automobile accident somewhere near Toronto with several other young people out having a good time. She injured her arm and lost her shoes. This is the some total of the information I have about Mimi and I would be so grateful if anyone could give me advice as to how I could look up this address to possibly get her surname. Many thanks. Les Landes

Information is from Lovell's city directory. Looking at the alphabetical listing it is not L. O. but L. A. Lessard, supt., Notre Dame Hospital. He is still listed in 1937 as a physician.
