From 1873 to 1890, this building, located at 336 Fraser Street in Saint-Patrice-Rivière-Loup in the Lower St. Lawrence region, was the summer residence of Sir John A. Macdonald (1815-1891), one of the leading Fathers of Confederation and the first holder of the office of Prime Minister of Canada. More than just a summer retreat, this house was a place for Macdonald to relax and work while he continued to govern the country. Here, the Prime Minister conducted many of his official duties, received notable guests, and discussed important matters. Issues addressed while he was in residence included the construction of the railway, the economic challenges of the 1880s, and the development of the West. Important meetings were held there, including the assembly of his inner cabinet of 13 ministers to discuss the "Riel affair" in 1885. Macdonald was particularly fond of this place, where he found the calm and detachment he needed during the summer months.
