Duke of Kent House, Historic house on Saint-Louis Street in Old Quebec, Canada.
The three-story stone residence stands at the corner of Saint-Louis and Haldimand streets, featuring traditional Quebec architecture with steep roofs and dormer windows.
Built around 1650 for New France Governor Louis d'Ailleboust, the house later witnessed the signing of Quebec's capitulation to British forces in September 1759.
Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and future father of Queen Victoria, resided in this residence from 1791 to 1794 during his military service in Quebec.
The building served as the French Consulate from 1980 to 2015 and now operates under municipal administration, offering guided visits by appointment.
The house retains its original 17th-century foundation and first-floor walls, making it one of the oldest standing structures in North America.
