Le texte the la plaque, fixée sur la façade de la maison, se lit comme suit:
«La Maison Rochon
Cette modeste habitation en bois constitue l'un des rares exemples de maisons simples typiques de la basse-ville. Elle a été la demeure de Flavien Rochon alors qu'il était au faîte de sa carrière. Les sculptures sur bois finement ciselés de l'artiste ornent la Basilique Notre-Dame et la Bibliothèque du Parlement. La maison est restée la propriété de la famille du sculpteur durant près de 90 ans.»
The text on the plaque, mounted on the front of the house, reads as follows:
"Rochon House
This modest wood house is a rare surviving example of a Lowertown cottage. Master carpenter Flavien Rochon, whose intricate carvings grace Notre-Dame Basilica and the Library of Parliament, lived here at the height of his career. The house remained in his family for nearly 90 years."
