One of Ottawa’s oldest residential buildings, constructed 1832. Home to French- Canadian woodcarver Flavian/Pierre Rochon, who crafted elements of the nearby Notre-Dame Baslica in 1844. The building stands near the Basilica and forms part of a cluster of early 19th century structures that highlight Ottawa’s pre Confederation roots.
