Maison Drouin, French Colonial house in Sainte-Famille-de-l'Île-d'Orléans, Canada.
The rectangular Maison Drouin features stone walls, a wood shingle gable roof, and a central chimney at 2958 Chemin Royal, overlooking the St Lawrence River.
Built between 1729 and 1730, with extensions from 1734 to 1736, the house remained in the Drouin family until the Fondation François-Lamy acquired it in 1996.
The interior configuration maintains its original layout with wide tongue-and-groove plank walls and plastered lath partitions, representing pre-industrial Quebec residential architecture.
Visitors can explore the house from mid-June to mid-October through guided tours with tablet-assisted presentations showing videos about former inhabitants.
The Minister of Culture and Communications designated this structure as a classified heritage site in 2010, preserving its historical elements without imposing modern interpretations.
