Abstract
The Stanley House is a Queen Anne-style summer residence located in New Richmond, Quebec, at the mouth of the Grand Cascapedia River, overlooking the Baie des Chaleurs. The house was built in 1888 as a summer home by Frederic Arthur Stanley, Lord of Preston, 16th Earl of Derby (1841-1908) and Governor General of Canada from 1888 to 1893. Two other Governor Generals resided in the house after Stanley. John Campbell Gordon, first Lord of Aberdeen and Temair, Governor General from 1893 to 1898, bought it in 1893 and lived there for four summers. The Earl of Minto, Governor General of Canada from 1898 to 1904, spent one summer there. In 1962 the building was donated to the Canada Council for the Arts by Olivia Billings Terrell and was used as a venue for seminars and gatherings for artists and scholars. The building was bought in 1996 by J. Edgar LeBlanc and converted into an 11-room inn and conference centre.
