Located at the corner of Notre Dame and Berri
streets, in downtown Montreal, this masonry building occupies a little
more than half of its urban lot. The two semi-detached houses occupying
this lot had been part of a three house urban terrace on what had been
the site of the Montreal citadel . One part of the house presents the
life and work of Father of Confederation George-Étienne Cartier,
upper-middle class Montrealer, politician and Father of Confederation,
and the other has been restored to present the domestic setting of the
Cartier family during the 1860s.
Rooted in the historic district of Old Montréal at
the corner of the prestigious Notre Dame and Berri streets, the Sir
George Étienne Cartier National Historic Site is a surprising heritage
gem that offers a moment for discovery and relaxation just a stone's
throw from Montréal's tourist scene.
Situé à l’angle des rues Notre-Dame et Berri, au
centre-ville de Montréal, cet édifice en pierre occupe un peu plus de la
moitié de son lot urbain. Les deux maisons mitoyennes qui le composent
faisaient jadis partie d’une terrasse constituée d’au moins trois
habitats occupant une partie de ce qui avait été la citadelle de
Montréal. Une partie de l’édifice présente l’interprétation de la vie et
de l’œuvre de Cartier, bourgeois montréalais, politique et Père de la
Confédération, alors qu’une autre partie offre une reconstitution du
milieu de vie de la famille de Cartier au cours des années 1860.
Ancré dans le quartier historique du Vieux-Montréal
au coin des prestigieuses rues Notre-Dame et Berri, le lieu historique
national Sir-George-Étienne-Cartier est un joyau patrimonial surprenant
qui offre un moment de découverte et de répit à deux pas de
l’effervescence touristique montréalaise.
