Caption: Marker detail: Orientation
Additional Description: American or French-Canadian?
In this 1850 photo, the "American" home is oriented at a right-angle to the river and road while the "French-Canadian" house is parallel.
Examples of these two orientations remain. Look just across the road.

D’influence américaine ou canadienne française?
Sur cette photo de 1850, la maison à l'américaine est orientée à angle droit avec la rue ou la rivière tandis que la maison à la canadienne y est parallèle.
On retrouve encore cette distinction. Jetez un coup d'œil de l'autre côté de la rue.
