Joseph-Gauvreau House, Heritage house in Rimouski, Canada
The Joseph-Gauvreau House features a cylindrical corner tower, brick exterior, and intricate woodwork details reflecting Queen Anne and eclectic architectural elements.
Built between 1906 and 1907 for Doctor Joseph Gauvreau, this residence later belonged to Jules-André Brillant, the founder of Québec-Téléphone, from 1930 to 1947.
The building demonstrates the influence of Victorian architecture in Quebec, incorporating classical ornamentation and traditional design elements from the early 20th century.
Located at 1 rue de l'Évêché Ouest, the structure now houses a chocolate factory and three meeting rooms following extensive restoration work completed in 2007.
The house survived the great Rimouski fire of 1950 and was physically moved twice: first in 1951 for a gas station, then returned to its original location in 1998.
