1. Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica. Notre Dame is an eclectic mix of various architectural styles. The original design was modeled after the Neoclassical St. Patrick's church in Quebec City. However, in 1844 Adrien Telmon and Damase Dandurand decided to change the style of Notre Dame from Neoclassical to Gothic Revival. The front doorways, which were already finished, retained their Neoclassical round-headed arches. The ashlar of the façade and the quoins on the towers also reveal the church's Neoclassical roots. However, the vaulting and the windows were demolished and rebuilt in the Gothic Revival style. (Submitted on June 20, 2020, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)
