Description
Français : La rue Saint-Louis, Québec, vers 1830, aquarelle de James Pattison Cockburn

À droite: Maison Dunn

« Vers 1830, James Pattison Cockburn réalise cette aquarelle représentant la rue Saint-Louis en direction de la porte du même nom. Cette voie, tracée dès le XVIIe siècle, doit son nom au fort construit par Samuel de Champlain en 1620. Deux siècles plus tard, elle est devenue un lieu de résidence recherché. La rue Saint-Louis, parallèle à la rue Saint-Jean, est beaucoup plus élevée, bien aérée et agréable et c’est de beaucoup la partie la plus belle de la ville; aussi la plupart des principaux membres du gouvernement de la province, et des personnes du premier rang, y résident. La portion comprise entre la rue Sainte-Ursule (au premier plan) et les fortifications ne fait pas exception si l’on en croit l'œuvre de Cockburn : on aperçoit notamment, à droite, la résidence d’inspiration palladienne de Thomas Aston Coffin, édifiée en 1795-1796. » – Jérôme Ouellet
