Why La Maison Dufresne ?
From December
1895 to April 1998, the house was the property of the Dufresne
family. Adrien Dufresne, architect, was one of the house last

in Cap-de-la-Madeleine also of the Sainte-Thérèse de Lisieux
church near Beauport. Mister Dufresne was a Dom Bellot's
disciple, a Benedictine architect, who worked for the
Montréal Saint-Joseph Oratory.
