The Brother Moffet house (Maison du Frère-Moffet, in French) is an old building located in Ville-Marie, Quebec (Canada).

This one-story house comprising a first floor and an attic was built in 1881 at the instigation of Oblate Brother Joseph Moffet, considered the "Father of Témiscamingue".

In 1874, he found land at the head of Kelly Bay (now Baie des Pères), 5 km north of the mission.

[3] The canonical parish of Ville-Marie was erected in 1886; occasionally at this time, the house served as a temporary residence for newly arrived families.

[3] The house was restored again in 1958, using materials from buildings in Fort Témiscamingue, including the door and its hand-crafted lock.

[3] The Société d'histoire du Témiscamingue took steps to protect the house and sought to finance its restoration.

On December 1, 2005, a technical classification was carried out, so that the registration of the building's base in the Land Register would mention its heritage protection status.

A bronze bust of Brother Moffet, by sculptor Philippe Scrive, was installed in front of the entrance.

[1] With its locally sourced materials and architectural simplicity, this house is representative of Temiscamian vernacular dwellings, being the oldest building here.

[1] The museum presents a permanent exhibition entitled De la Terre et des Hommes (Of Land and Men), dedicated to Brother Moffet and the history of the first wave of Témiscamingue colonization, which took place between 1881 and 1920.
