Addenda

Built in 1922, the residence is part of the fourth phase of development of the Montcalm district (1898-1940), a period marked by the residential densification and modernization of De Bougainville Avenue. It was constructed by contractor and businessman Ferdinand Guilmette, who also built several similar-style homes along the avenue in the early 1920s.
The property was owned by Pierre Laporte (1921-1970) from 1964 to 1967, during his tenure as Minister of Cultural Affairs and later as Leader of the Opposition. Due to its age and the prominence of one of its former owners, the residence holds a high historical value.
Architectural and Artistic Interest
This home is a notable representation of the Arts and Crafts architectural style, inspired by the English movement emphasizing craftsmanship and natural materials. It features an original variation of the English cottage, distinguished by its front-facing gable, asymmetrical window placement adapted to interior functionality, and windows of varying sizes with upper multi-pane detailing.
Key architectural elements include a brick-columned porch, exposed roof rafters, shed dormer, decorative shutters, wrought-iron stair railings, and a predominantly stucco exterior. The residence shares several architectural characteristics with other landmark properties on the avenue, notably at 1165 and 1180 De Bougainville.
Thanks to its exceptional level of authenticity and distinctive architectural features, the property presents a high architectural and artistic interest.
Urban and Landscape Interest
The home enjoys a prime setting along a broad, tree-lined avenue known for its landscaped setbacks, grassy medians, and refined street lighting. A wooden fence partially encloses the rear yard, enhancing privacy.
Surrounded by substantial residences designed by renowned architects, the property integrates seamlessly into the distinctive urban fabric of De Bougainville Avenue. Its setting within this lush and harmonious environment gives the residence a high urban and landscape value.
