Manoir Grant
Construit en 1835 par le Seigneur Ellice, ce manoir constitue sûrement l’un des plus vieux édifices de Salaberry-de-Valleyfield encore debout. Situé dans l’ancien village de Saint-Timothée. Il fut le théâtre en 1843 du soulèvement des ouvriers irlandais affectés au creusage du premier canal de Beauharnois. Cette page noire de l’histoire du pays se solda par une répression violente qui causa la mort de plus de 20 ouvriers irlandais. Le bâtiment est classé lieu patrimonial par la municipalité et il accueille aujourd’hui une salle de réception privée.

Grant Manor
Built in 1835 by Lord Ellice, this manor is surely one of the oldest buildings in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield that is still standing. Located in a section of Valleyfield that was once the village of Saint-Timothée. In 1843 it was the scene of the uprising of Irish workers assigned to digging the first Beauharnois Canal. This black page in the history of the country ended in a violent crackdown that killed more than 20 Irish workers. The building is listed heritage site by the city and has a private reception room.
