Summary

[edit]
Description
Français : La terrasse Durham. Le château Haldimand. Vue de l'hôtel du Chien d'Or.
« Le 24 janvier 1834, le Château Saint-Louis est détruit par un incendie majeur. Le lendemain, des ruines jonchent le sol. Quatre ans après ce sinistre, le gouverneur Durham décide de rendre cet espace public. Pour ce faire, il fait aménager une terrasse. La vue incomparable qui était jusque-là réservée au seul gouverneur est désormais offerte à tous les citoyens. Bien qu'elle soit légèrement allongée en 1854, elle ne dépasse pas les limites de l'actuel Château Frontenac. Il faudra attendre 1878 pour que Charles Baillairgé dessine les plans de la terrasse Dufferin qui se rend alors jusqu'au pied du glacis de la citadelle. Sur cette photographie prise à partir du toit de l'Hôtel du Chien d'or en 1864, on aperçoit, en bordure de la terrasse, le Château Haldimand. Il sera démoli en 1892 pour faire place au Château Frontenac. » – Société historique de Québec
