5.7 Estèbe House

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

Built in 1751, the Estèbe House is a prime example of an urban residence of the early 18th century. With a façade that spans 20 by 15 metres, and 21 rooms heated by eight fireplaces, this stately home is a masterpiece of Québec’s architectural heritage. Its owner, Guillaume Estèbe, arrived in New France before 1739. He held a number of different positions, including member of the Superior Council, director and administrator of the Saint-Maurice ironworks, King’s storekeeper in Québec, entrepreneur specializing in seal fisheries of the Labrador coast, merchant-trader and seigneur of Lagauchetière, a seigneurie on the Island of Montréal. He returned to France in 1759. The Estèbe House is now part of the Musée de la civilisation complex. You can visit its vaults, which are home to the museum’s gift shop.
