Château Richard House

Château Zoé-Turgeon is a bourgeois residence erected in 1906 and 1907. The building has a rather compact irregular plan comprising a stone base, two floors also in stone and an additional floor formed by the high roof with multiple slopes covered with sheet metal with the Canadian. The volume of the house is characterized by numerous projecting elements, including a polygonal semi-overhang tower at the south corner, two bay windows on the side elevations and a two-storey covered gallery on the facade. The roof is pierced by two gables at the top of the bay windows and a dormer window with a triangular pediment. The ornamentation is composed, among other things, of stone arches above the openings, a bracketed cornice, the elaborate woodwork of the gallery and a ridge crest.

Château Zoé-Turgeon stands on the edge of Avenue Royale, on a medium-sized vegetated lot, in an urbanized area of the municipality of L’Ange Gardien. The boundaries of the land are demarcated by a cast iron gate in front, and rows of trees to the west and north. An old fountain adorns the grounds.
