Français:
La maison du jardinier occupe une position privilégiée à l’entrée du parc et au départ de l’allée seigneuriale qui amenait le visiteur jusqu’au Manoir. La maison est construite en 1855 selon des plans établis par Amédée, fils aîné du Seigneur Papineau.

La localisation de la maison du jardinier, si près du portail, n’était pas un effet du hasard. L’une des tâches du jardinier ou de l’un des membres de sa famille était certainement de voir à ouvrir et fermer la barrière suivant les besoins.

À l’arrivée du Seigniory Club, en 1930, la maison du jardinier deviendra la résidence du directeur de l’hôtel. À partir de ce moment, la maison connaîtra des transformations, mais le style de ces agrandissements successifs ne représente guère un mariage réussi avec la demeure ancienne.

Le portail actuel mis en place vers 1930 par le Seigniory Club remplace celui qu’Amédée a fait ériger vers 1883.

La maison du jardinier a fait l’objet d’une citation à titre d’immeuble patrimonial par la municipalité de Montebello le 18 août 2014.

position in that it was at the entrance to the park and at the beginning of the Seigniory's driveway which brought visitors to the Manor. The house was built in 1855 using plans made by Amédée, the eldest son of the Seigneur Papineau.

The location of the gardener's house, so close to the gate, was not coincidental. One of the jobs as gardener, or one of his family members, was to open and close the barrier as necessary.

With the arrival of the "Seigniory Club" in 1930, the gardener's home became the home of the hotel manager. From that moment, the house underwent many transformations but the style of these subsequent expansions never blended with the style of the old house.

The actual architecture of the main entrance gate was built in 1930 and replaces the one erected in 1833 by Amédée Papineau.

The gardener's house has been recognized as a heritage building by the municipality of Montebello August 18, 2014.
