Title
Building the City : The Influence of English Speakers on Quebec City's Architecture
Abstract
Quebec City is praised for its quintessential Frenchness, yet a closer look at its architecture reveals a city with a strong British influence. Ninety-five per cent of the city was built or modified after the British conquest in 1759. In the middle of the ninete nth century, half the people in the Upper Town were English speakers, and they left a clear mark on the built environment. Many of the city’s important landmarks, from the Château Frontenac to the Price Building, were designed by English-speaking architects.
