Description

Gaudet Lodge is a two and one half storey house with Cottage and Queen Anne Revival style elements. It is located in the village of Tignish, PEI on a spacious treed lot. The registration includes the footprint of the building.

Valeur patrimoniale

The building is significant because of its association with the famous Island architect, William Critchlow Harris (1854-1913). It is one of the few surviving residences designed by Harris. This house was built sometime after the 1896 Great Fire of Tignish for Senator and Dr. Patrick Charles Murphy. In 1927, it was the home of Joseph A. Bernard, the first Acadian Lt. Governor of PEI (1945-1950). By the late 1950s, it was owned by Camille Gaudet and became a rooming house and restaurant. Today, it remains remarkably intact except for the addition of an annex behind the house which was added in 1976-77.
