Maison du Frère-Moffet, Heritage wooden house in Ville-Marie, Canada.
The Maison du Frère-Moffet is a one-and-a-half-story wooden house with a gabled roof and rectangular sliding windows. The building was moved multiple times and stands as one of the earliest surviving structures of its type in the region.
The house was built in 1881 by Brother Joseph Moffet as shelter for farm workers and passing missionaries. It played a role in the early settlement and development of the northern territory during the late 1800s.
The house shows how missionaries and settlers lived and worked in this remote region. The rooms give a sense of daily life during the region's pioneer era.
The site can be visited and guided tours are offered that convey life during the pioneer period. Visitors should be aware that conditions around the house vary by season and may affect access.
The building was moved five times since its construction, an uncommon fate for such an old structure. These repeated relocations reflect the constantly changing needs of settlers in this developing region.
