Site du patrimoine Beattie-des-Pins, Heritage site in Mont-Tremblant, Canada.
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 took shape in the 1890s, when George Halsey Perley set up his lumber company beside the Saint-Jovite railway station. The residential settlement grew directly out of the company's operations and the village's expansion in that decade.
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's name honours the Beattie family, who lived here after George Halsey Perley's lumber company laid out the settlement in the 1890s. Look for the former chapel among the roughly twelve houses and outbuildings, a building type rarely kept in a residential heritage area.
