Cette magnifique maison de style néo-Queen Anne a été construite au début du siècle, (vers 1908) par le Dr. Edmond-Stanislas Aubry, maire de la ville de Hulle de 1893 à 1895 et de 1905 à 1906. Le rez-de-chaussée et l’étage auraient également servis d’hôpital et de maison de maternité. En 1944, le Dr. Lionel Pichette achète de Mme Aubry la demeure qui passe en 1974 aux mains de son fils, le notaire Gérald Pichette. La maison a deux façades identiques, mais inversées, l'une donnant sur la rue Aubry, l’autre sur la promenade du Portage. Les tourelles, les pignons, les vitraux, les frontons, la grandeur et la hauteur des pièces, ainsi que l’usage des bois de chêne, de noyer et d'acajou font de la maison Aubry une des plus somptueuses résidences de Hull. Ce joyau de notre patrimoine bâti a été soigneusement restauré en 1997.

[English translation]
Aubry House
This magnificent Neo-Queen Anne style house was built at the beginning of the century (around 1908) by Dr. Edmond-Stanislas Aubry, mayor of the city of Hull from 1893 to 1895 and from 1905 to 1906. The ground floor and the upper floor were also said to have served as a hospital and maternity home. In 1944, Dr. Lionel Pichette bought the house from Mrs. Aubry, and in 1974 it passed to his son, notary Gérald Pichette. The house has two identical but reversed facades, one facing Aubry Street and the other facing Portage Promenade. The turrets, gables, stained glass windows, pediments, the size and height of the rooms, as well as the use of oak, walnut, and mahogany wood, make the Aubry house one of the most sumptuous residences in Hull. This gem of our built heritage was carefully restored in 1997.
