Maison-Louis-Bertrand
Cette élégante demeure constitue un remarquable exemple d'architecture québécoise d'inspiration néo-classique. Avec son toit galbé, sa galerie qui l'entoure et son lambris de bois imitant la pierre de taille, elle exprime à la fois l'influence française, britannique et américaine. Elle fut bâtie en 1853 au cur du village pour le marchand et notable Louis Bertrand qui, avec l'aide de son fils Charles, contribua largement au développement de la région au XIXe siècle. Résidence bourgeoise pourvue de son mobilier et de son décor d'origine, elle témoigne des efforts des familles Bertrand et Michaud pour la préserver pendant quatre générations.
Louis Bertrand House
The Louis Bertrand House National Historic Site of Canada is located in the village of L’Isle-Verte in the Bas-Saint Laurent region of Quebec. Constructed for Louis Bertrand, a successful merchant and active politician, the house is rectangular in plan with two full storeys and a two-level attic. The house was built in the traditional “maison québecoise” manner, as seen in the high foundations, gallery, steep roof, and details such as the multi-paned casement windows. To this are added stylistic elements from Neoclassicism, including the overall symmetry of plan and elevations, decorative details, and wood cladding fashioned to imitate cut stone. The interior retains its original floor plan, mouldings, and many of its original fittings and furnishings. Official recognition refers to the building on its legal lot.
