The city is known and promoted as the cradle of French civilization in North America. It is interesting to see that all cities including Quebec are subject to the tides of development. The only difference is, is that this old city experienced rapid growth and development nearly 200 years ago where architectural changes aren’t as noticeable and contrasting to casual onlookers of the 21st century. The old photograph certainly creates a romantic feel for the original building you can see how much simpler the structures were from the French regime but no less beautiful. It also shows the technological advances between the 17th century building (high pitched roof, low walls, the small window paned glasses and the white stucco signifying nobility status) and what currently stand there. You can also see the Brittany French architectural influences with a Quebec twist to suit the harsh climate. Beautiful piece of history.
