Completed in 1845, it is the former Wesley Temple. It is a Neo Gothic structure, designed by Edward Staveley. It is located in Old Quebec City which has been designated a UNESCO heritage site.
A core component of Bibliothèque de Québec, Maison de la littérature houses a public library and a permanent exhibition on Québec literature, writing carrels, a comic book workshop, a creation studio, a writer’s residence, a quiet lounge and a variety of events presented on its stage throughout the year.
The church closed in 1931. In 1944 it became a library for the next 66 years. It was one of the oldest library in QC. In 1999 the Maison de la Littérature took over the building.
