Cartier Residences

These two semi-detached houses were built about 1837 and were the homes of Sir George-Étienne Cartier, one of Canada’s most distinguished statesmen, who lived in the east house from 1848 until 1855 and in the west house from 1862 to 1872. Cartier shared leadership of the Province of Canada with Sir John A. Macdonald for most of the decade after 1857, was one of the principal architects of Confederation in 1867, and became a leading member of the first Dominion cabinet, serving as Minister of Militia and Defence.
