Did The Beauteous Damsel About
Whom Horatio, Lord Nelson, Raved In 1782, When, As Commander Of H. M.'s
Frigate Albemarle, He Was Philandering In Quebec, Ever Live Here?
[148]
This is more than I can say.
On the north side of the Grande Allee, the
lofty structure - the new Parliament Buildings - occupies a whole square.
THE PARLIAMENTARY AND DEPARTMENTAL BUILDINGS.
When completed, the Parliament and Public Buildings of the Province of
Quebec, erected on the Grande Allee, outside of St. Louis Gate,
will form a square, each side of which externally will measure 300
feet and will enclose a court l98 x l95 feet. Three facades are now
completed; they are tenanted by the various Public Departments of the
Civil Service - the Halls of the Legislative Assembly alone remain to
be built and the foundations are now in process of construction in
consequence of the vote of Parliament in 1881. The main facade, now in
process of construction, will look towards the city walls and face on
St. Eustache street, or rather on the splendid new area to constitute
Dufferin Avenue, should St. Eustache street be closed; this street
being altogether too narrow and in too close proximity to the
buildings. The Lieut.-Governor will occupy a handsome suite of rooms
on the second story in the portion of the edifice which lies parallel
with and faces towards St. Louis Road. The northern facade faces on
St. Augustin street and the fourth or western facade looks towards St.
Julia street.
