Les Résidences Cartier
Construite vers 1837, cette maison est un bel exemple des maisons jumelées que l'on construisait à l'époque dans le Vieux Montréal. George-Étienne Cartier demeura dans la partie est de 1848 à 1854, puis dans 1a partie ouest de 1862 à 1872. Avec John A. Macdonald, Cartier dirigea la Province du Canada-Uni à plusieurs reprises sous le régime de l'Union des deux Canadas après 1857. Il fut aussi l'un des principaux artisans de la Confédération et l'un des membres les plus influents du premier ministère canadien, en 1867, comme ministre de la Milice et de la Défense.
Cartier Residences

Cartier shared with John A. Macdonald, the leadership of the Province of Canada for most of the decade after 1857 and was one of the principal architects of Confederation. He became a leading member of the first Dominion cabinet Which he served as Minister of Militia and Defence.
