The texte sur la plaque se lit comme suit:
Cette maison fut, pendant plus de 35 ans, la résidence de sir Étienne-Paschal Taché, médecin, premier ministre du Canada-Uni et l'un des pères de la Confédération. Érigée dans les années 1820, elle présente un plan rectangulaire et un toit à pente moyenne qui sont caractéristiques de l'architecture traditionnelle du Québec. Son décor menuisé intérieur est d'inspiration classique. La maison fut agrandie après 1850 et, par la suite, ornée de deux tours carrées qui témoignent bien des goûts éclectiques de cette époque.

After 1850, the house was enlarged and later embellished by two square towers, in keeping with the eclectic tastes of the period.
