Maison Marie-Joseph-Larchevêque
Marie-Joseph Larchevêque House
Devenu propriétaire de la maison, James Sinclair remplace en 1787 la galerie par un magasin d'un étage, lui aussi en pierre et recouvert d'un toit à croupe. Cette annexe complète l'entière occupation du lot donnant sur la rue Garneau et la côte de la Fabrique. En 1820, deux marchands ayant loué à John MacNider ajoutent un étage à la partie magasin, pour obtenir l'ensemble que l'on voit aujourd'hui.
La maison a conservé son apparence extérieure du XIXe siècle, ainsi qu'un escalier tournant, à l'intérieur, et la charpente du toit. Elle a été classée par la Commission des monuments historiques en 1963.
The lot on which stands the Marie-Joseph Larchevêque House was granted by the Jesuits to Jean-Baptiste Larchevêque in 1715. Ten years later, his daughter Marie-Joseph built a stone house with a covered gallery.
In 1787 James Sinclair became the owner of the house and replaced the gallery with a one-story store, also of stone and covered with a hipped roof. This annex completed the entire occupation of the lot overlooking rue Garneau and the Côte de la Fabrique. In 1820, two merchants who rented from John MacNider added a floor to the store section, to get the exterior that we see today.
The house has retained its nineteenth century exterior appearance, as well as a spiral staircase on the inside and the roof structure. It was classified by the Commission of Historic Monuments in 1963.
