On November 2, 2020, Westmount City Council designated the Goode property as a heritage immovable. The interior of the private residence located at 178 C\u00f4te-Saint-Antoine Road is now protected by a municipality, a first in Quebec. This regulatory measure will allow the Goode house to continue to exist in the community\u2019s shared memory \u2014 without freezing it in time\u2014 all while allowing the building to fulfill its foremost role as a space for living.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Built in 1840, the Goode House is one of the oldest in the City, and a rare example of Greek Revival architecture in Quebec. It was originally one of a group of four identical houses, of which two remain. Since 1884, three generations of the Goode family have preserved the architectural integrity of this exceptional house.<\/p>\n

Why a heritage citation?<\/strong>
\nHaving avoided modern upgrades for almost two centuries, the house presents a rare degree of authenticity and integrity, as revealed a study involving Christina Cameron, Canada Research Chair on Built Heritage. \u201cThe interior of the Goode house retains a remarkably complete collection of woodwork, plasterwork and other fittings that have survived since its original construction in the early 1840s\u201d, says Cameron.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the firm WAA studied the landscaping around the house. Together, its indigenous and exotic plants, a mini-orchard, greenhouses, terraces and decorative garden borders provide a fascinating remnant of the development of 19th-century suburb garden design. The study testifies to \u201ca rare continuity, making the garden and landscape of the residence truly unique in today\u2019s world\u201d.<\/p>\n

The heritage citation will protect the distinguishing features of the house, both exterior and interior, hence the importance of the City\u2019s initiative.<\/p>\n

Distinct municipal leadership<\/strong>
\nA large portion of the City of Westmount was recognized in 2011 by Parks Canada as a National Historic Site of Canada. In 2018, the City won the prestigious Prince of Wales Award for Municipal Leadership in Heritage. Westmount continues to protect exceptional places for future generations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
