Maison Morisset, Historic farmhouse in Sainte-Famille-de-l'Île-d'Orléans, Canada.
The stone building features an elongated rectangular design with a gable roof, asymmetrical windows, and traditional French architectural elements from the colonial period.
Built in 1678 by Jean Morisset during the New France era, the house received heritage status from Quebec's Ministry of Culture and Communications in 1962.
The interior preserves original wooden floors, exposed beams, and a central hearth with bread oven that demonstrates rural lifestyle in 17th-century Quebec.
The farmhouse stands at 4417 Chemin Royal, maintaining its original structure and serving as a testament to early Quebec settlement patterns.
In 2024, genealogical research revealed this stone house as the ancestral residence of Canadian singer Alanis Morissette's family.
