Cet ensemble architectural fort bien préservé offre, par son aspect extérieur, un exemple remarquable du paysage urbain canadien-français du XVIIIe siècle. Il est composé de cinq édifices institutionnels et résidentiels dont le couvent et l’église des Récollets (aujourd’hui l’église anglicane Saint-James), le monastère des Ursulines et les maisons Georges-De Gannes et Hertel-De la Fresnière, celle-ci bâtie au XIXe siècle. Ce complexe témoigne de l’évolution de la rue des Ursulines où s’établirent au fil des ans des notables trifluviens, des militaires de passage et des communautés religieuses.

"Trois-Rivières Historical Complex National Historic Site of Canada is located in the historic district of Trois-Rivières, in the Mauricie region of Quebec. The site consists of five buildings: De Gannes House, the Hertel de la Fresnière House, the Recollet Convent, the Recollet Church, and the Ursuline Convent. Constructed in the French Regime style, the one-and-a-half to two-and-a-half storey stone structures are visually integrated through their steep gable roofs with overhanging eaves, dormer windows, and multiple chimneys, as well as through their regularly-spaced multi-light windows, and centred entrance doorways. Official recognition refers to a polygon in the Trois-Rivières historic district."
