| Title |
The Architecture of Villégiature on Lake Memphremagog, 1860–1890
|
| Abstract |
The author looks the growing trend towards "villégiature" (tourism) in nineteenth-century Quebec by examining the country estates of Montreal villégiateurs on Lake Memphremagog, in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. In particular, she analyzes the architectural styles of the estates of Sir Hugh Allan, Alexander Molson, Judge Charles Dewey Day and John Murray. The author concludes that the architecture and landscaping of these estates demonstrates the occupants’ notions of nature, leisure and social status as well as indicating the contemporary influences of romanticism and antimodernism.
