Site du patrimoine Beattie-des-Pins

Site du patrimoine Beattie-des-Pins is a protected residential area in Mont-Tremblant containing about twelve houses, outbuildings, and a former chapel set within a wooded landscape. The area stretches from the railway in the northeast to Ruisseau Noir in the southeast, maintaining the original external structure of all buildings.

The site developed in the 1890s when George Halsey Perley established his lumber company near the Saint-Jovite railway station. This residential settlement grew as a direct result of the company's operations and the village's expansion during that period.

The buildings here show two distinct architectural styles side by side: American Four Square houses with pavilion roofs and rectangular structures with straight gabled roofs. This combination shapes how the residential area looks and reflects the construction practices of its era.

The site is best explored on foot, allowing you to view the residential buildings from outside and examine the structures from different angles. Plan time to walk through the area slowly and observe the architectural details and wooded surroundings.

The site still shows traces of late 1800s prosperity that many visitors overlook because it appears as an ordinary residential area. The preserved buildings mixed with the surrounding forest create a rare glimpse into the region's industrial past.
