 The Price Building,
Quebec by tiabunna
The Price Building was erected by a timber company of that name, with the foundation stone going in place in 1929: hardly an auspicious time to be building big! Maybe that’s part of the reason it now is owned by the Québec Government … and the Premier of Québec now resides on the top (18th) floor. I guess having what probably has to be the better views in the Province would have to rank as one of the perks of office!
I find these Art Deco buildings quite fascinating, as the style tends to be replicated so closely from one to another. Others who enjoy them may be interested that my VT pal Pawtuxet also is somewhat taken by them and has some travelogues of photos from around the world on her HP.

 La Fontaine de Tourny, in
Quebec City by JefieLeave a Comment

| | |
As we walked from the Place d’Armes to the Arsenal, we ‘discovered’ this large Celtic cross all by ourselves – none of our guidebooks or the tour guide had mentioned it. I suspect that the date 2000 at the top indicates its recent erection and (goodness knows), maybe nobody else had noticed it before!
It is impressive though, and the base engraved with the text in French, English and Gaelic is certainly intended to ensure the message is comprehensible. It is a ‘thank you’ message from the people of Ireland to the people of Québec, for their support and assistance during the Irish famine of the 19th century. Although I took photos, I was less thorough in recording the location, but working backward from the map and from where we were heading at the time I am fairly confident that it was in rue Charlevoix, near de la Hotel-Dieu. The photos show the text in all three languages. Address: rue Charlevoix ?

 Edifice Price & Plaza
des Jardins by mim95
The interior features two maple-wood elevators and copper plaques showing the scenes of the company's early activities.
In 2001, the top floors were converted into the official residence for Quebec's premier. Only the lobby is opened to the public.
Plaza des Jardins is where you can find the monument of the first Canadian cardinal and the archbishop of Quebec, Elzear-Alexandre Taschereau. The bronze and gold statue illustrates his devotion to God and assistance to the Irish victims of typhus in 1847. Leave a Comment Address: 65 rue Ste-AnneDirections: Across the City Hall on rue Ste-Anne in Upper Town

 Fountain in Place d'Armes by mim95
You can see the gothic style fountain in the middle of the square. The monument de la Foi (monument of the truth) is above the fountain, honoring the 300th anniversary of the arrival of the Peres Recollets (Franciscan monks) in 1615. Leave a Comment Directions: Place d'Armes is bordered by St-Louis, Ste-Anne, Fort and Tresor, steps from Chateau Frontenac in Upper Town.

The limestone building was renamed in 1984 to commemorate Louis S.-St-Laurent, Prime Minister of Canada of 1949 to 1958, which resided in Quebec. Today, it still houses a post office, with a stamp collectors counter and an exhibition hall.
Next to the post office building on cote de la Montagne is the Monument Monseigneur de Laval, the first bishop of Quebec. It was the work of sculptor Louis-Philippe Hebert in 1908, and was made with bronze and granite. Leave a Comment Directions: Across Parc Montmorency opposite the Archeveche in Upper Town.
