Old Parliament Building (Quebec)

It was located in what is Parc Montmorency today, the site of two Parliament buildings from 1791 to 1883 at the Chapel of Bishop's Palace and later within the grounds of the Bishop's Palace.

The first building on the site was the Chapel of Bishop's Palace, which was ordered built by Bishop Saint-Vallier from 1693 to 1695 to replace a stone house purchased by Saint-Vallier in 1688.

[1] In 1777 the building was rented to the British government to house the Legislative Council under orders from then Governor General Guy Carleton, 1st Baron Dorchester.

From 1791 to 1838 it was home to the House of Assembly and Legislative Council of Lower Canada.

[2] The building's interior is featured in Robert Harris' 1884 painting Conference at Quebec in 1864.
