Clergue Blockhouse

A Link to Sault Ste. Marie's Past

In 1819, fur traders from the North West Company built a magazine for gunpowder storage at their port near the rapids of the St. Mary's River. Later, the magazine became part of a Hudson's Bay Company port.

In 1894, Francis Hector Clergue built a cantilevered log storey on top of the abandoned powder magazine. Clergue designed this Blockhouse as a replica of an early frontier fort.

Clergue went on to develop at Sault Ste. Marie a large group of integrated companies. For a time, the Blockhouse served as his living quarters and office. It is a symbol of the city's heritage and industrial development and F. H. Clergue's entrepreneurial spirit.

The Clergue Blockhouse was moved to its new location next to the Ermatinger Old Stone House in 1996.
