Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This is one of the most admired houses in the town. Its owner, Joseph Lartigue (c. 1683-1743), came to Louisbourg with the first settlers from Placentia, Newfoundland. He had been a fisherman and trader, but here he accepted public office, becoming a member of the Superior Council and serving as town magistrate. Business sense, family alliances and official favour raised him to prominence in the town. The original house was built here in 1734.

The house is a timberframe structure with rubblestone fill. It is not large and part of it was used as a courtroom, yet Lartigue and his wife Jeanne lived here with several servants and many of their twelve children. Lartigue was prosperous when he built this house and accepted different standards than we might.

Except for four years of exile in France, Mme. Lartigue lived here through the whole existence of French Louisbourg, one of a few colonists to see both its foundation and its fall. Exiled again, she died in 1763.
