4.6 Limestone and Sandstone

from Place-Royale from today to yesterday, Quebec city. (videos) Hosted by Musée de la civilisation

Massive and solid Beauport limestone was used to build the houses of New France. Grey sandstone from L’Ange-Gardien, Château-Richer and Beaumont was also used. For door and window surrounds, as well as for plinth lines and wall ties, builders preferred stone from Pointe-aux-Trembles, a municipality now known as Neuville. Its coarse-grained limestone was easier to cut than the Beauport stone. Stone from the cliff was not used for construction, as it crumbled on contact with air and water.
