d'être, en bonne partie, reconstruite en 1930 d'après les plans des architectes Robitaille & Desmeules. Aujourd'hui son intérêt tient surtout à son architecture intérieure, représentative de l'art des Baillairgé au milieu du XIXe siècle. L'histoire de cette chapelle est liée à celle de la Congrégation Notre-Dame de Québec, fondée le 14 février 1657, par le jésuite Joseph-Antoine Poncet de la Rivière (1610-1675). Cette confrérie regroupe de jeunes laïcs désireux de propager la dévotion mariale. Les congréganistes tiennent leurs assemblées dans un oratoire situé dans la partie sud-est du collège des Jésuites. Ils l'occupent jusqu'en 1800, avant de déménager dans une chapelle au-dessus de la sacristie de la cathédrale Notre-Dame. • • • [English translation] This chapel was built in 1818 according to the plans of François Baillairgé (1759-1830) for the Congregation of Men of the Upper Town.

in its interior architecture, representative of the Baillairgé family's art in the mid-19th century.
The history of this chapel is linked to that of the Congregation of Notre-Dame de Québec, founded on February 14, 1657, by the Jesuit Joseph-Antoine Poncet de la Rivière (1610-1675). This brotherhood brought together young lay people eager to spread Marian devotion. The congregation held their meetings in an oratory located in the southeast part of the Jesuit College. They occupied it until 1800, before moving to a chapel above the sacristy of Notre-Dame Cathedral.

2. Terreau & Racine, Québec.

Excerpt: Terreau & Racine was a well known and very successful metal foundry, established in 1850 in Quebec City. They made, among other things, the stoves that were widely used to heat houses and cabins through the cold Quebec winters. The foundry was destroyed by a huge fire in 1919 but they rebuilt and continued to be successful until another fire destroyed the building in the 1950s.
