History and Heritage
Buildings - The Nivard-De Saint-Dizier Historical House
This house, which was built between 1693 and 1715, was listed in 1976 as a cultural property by the government of Québec.
Zacharie Dupuis, its first owner, who gave the borough of Verdun its name in memory of his native region (Saverdun, a village in southern France), bequeathed the house to the nuns of the Congrégation de Notre-Dame. The nuns sold it in 1769 to Étienne Nivard de Saint-Dizier.
Of Norman style, the roof of this house is steeply sloped because of its two chimneys. It is 42' long, 24' wide and 30' high. The house's walls and foundations are 16” thick and its floor rests on 10” x 12” beams that were hacked out by axe.
