English: This is one of the oldest houses in Trois-Rivières outside the area around Rue des Ursulines. It was built in 1668 by Jacques LeNeuf de la Potherie, a merchant from Normandy who was four times Governor of Trois-Rivières. In 1729 it was acquired by François Chastelainan officer of the French Marines who left it to his daughter and son-in-law, Joseph-Claude Boucher de Niverville. Later it passed through the hands of a number of owners. It was miraculously saved during the Great Fire but subsequently was abandoned and fell into decay until, in 1940, it was acquired by the municipality of Trois-Rivières.
