Excerpt: The Édifice Price is an 18-floor skyscraper in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. Built in 1928–1930 amid controversy for Price Brothers Limited, it is the tallest building in the Old Quebec historical district, as well as one of the oldest skyscrapers in Canada. The building is the property of Ivanhoé Cambridge, a subsidiary of the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec. In 2001, it became the location of an official residence for the Premier of Quebec, which occupies two of the upper floors. The 2,800 sq ft apartment includes a 14-guest dining room, two bedrooms and all the associated facilities. The apartment is richly appointed with maple hardwood floors, granite and limestone; its furnishings reproduce traditional Quebec styles, and is decorated with paintings by(Submitted on April 14, 2025, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)local artists on loan from the Musée du Québec.Photographed by Cosmos Mariner, August 3, 20193. Price Building (north/front façade)
Édifice Price was constructed in the art deco style of the time. Geometric motifs are carved in the Price Building′s stone cladding, especially over the first few levels. The building is topped by a more classical, specifically Châteauesque, steepled copper roof. The final composition displays Beaux-Arts influences. The main exterior′s decorative themes are pilasters topped with palm motifs, pinnacles, and a large, vaulted arch with extrados over the main entrance. The building's structural steel frame was also a first for the city. It was covered in grey limestone from Saint-Marc-des-Carrières and Queenston.
