This fine building was constructed in 1705 as the home of Montreal’s then governor Claude de Ramezay, and continued to serve this function for many years after the brief occupation by the Continental Congress Army in 1775-76. Raine repeated this composition in a lithograph of unknown date. He also represented the château from the north-east corner, showing one of the turrets and the façade.
