Retourner à la fiche de: Edward-Graves Meredith

AKA Ned Meredith // Built (together with Sir George Garneau) a double house at 138 Grande Allée, Quebec City, where the Meredith family resided from about 1896-1906 (in the half of the house at the street corner). Meredith House now has the street number of 677-695 Grande Allée Est, and is well known as the nightclub, 'Chez Dagobert'. // About 1900, 'Ned' Meredith built a summer home at 346 rue Fraser, St-Patrice / St-Patrick QC (near Riviere du Loup), which was known as 'Belle Riviere'. In 1938 the property was sold to Mr Mostyn Lewis of Montreal, a grandson of Sir Henry Newell Bate and a cousin-by-marriage to the Thomsons and Christies (descendants of this same Meredith couple). The cottage retains its name and situation to this day. // Official Signator on behalf of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Quebec to the Act which created the National Battlefields Commission, the document dated 15 Jul 1908 which preserved that area of Quebec City now called Battlefields Park, better known as The Plains of Abraham. Coincidentally, the land occupied by Battlefield Park was directly across the street from Edward Meredith's and Sir Louis Garneau's joint home on the Grande Allée -- at the time, there were no other houses or buildings bordering that side of the Allée (Hotel Lowes LeConcorde was built much later).
