Albert House

Located in downtown Edmundston and built around 1908, the Albert House consists of a 2-story brick Second Empire residence with a central capped tower on the front façade.

The heritage value of Maison Albert as a local historic place lies mainly in its architecture and its original authenticity. With its capped tower, mansard roof, and circular window in the façade, Maison Albert is a prime example of a residence constructed in the Second Empire style. The original authenticity of the exterior and interior finishing of this home also contributes to its heritage value.
