The Grande-Allée Drill Hall is an impressive stone drill hall that retains its original parade square. Designed by Eugène-Étienne Taché, a Quebec public servant and architect, it was completed in 1887, with an addition in 1913. Its steeply pitched gable roof, conical towers, and fanciful decorative details make it an early example of the French-inspired Chateau style. Unique among Canadian drill halls of its period, it reflects the late 19th-century interest in the city's historic French roots.
