Plaque text and image (if available): This farmhouse was built around 1835 for a man named Charlebois, a navigator on Lake St. Louis and the Lake of Two Mountains. This type of “pièces sur pièces et montant à coulisse” (log) house construction is characteristic of early 19th century Québécois architecture, with its raised stone foundation and overhanging eaves covering the gallery. The two dormers and the summer kitchen were added in the late 1800s.
