I'm just below there; have been since 1967, opposite the Salvation Army Men's Hostel, on which property once stood the greystone mansion of Montreal mayor Charles Seraphin Rodier, called the Prince of Wales Castle - and also the home of Thomas D'Arcy McGee for four years, in a smaller house on the property.

It should be restored into a museum for the time period it was constructed in until Louis died. I hope what is left can be salvaged.

Lopez-Quintana! The time is NOW for "responsible government" at ALL levels, to restore Canada's FIRST "responsible-government's" (and likely one of very few) this significant historical mansion! Shame on our governments for letting M. Lafontaine's mansion get to the mediocre state it's in! The grafitti looks awful! Please! Save the mansion now!

Shame on Quebec and Quebecers! It is equally apalling that the Canadian government hasn't done its job in restoring such an important Canadian landmark!

He was even able to pass bills against the seigneurial system, which was to me a horrible semi-feudal system.

Having his home in ruins would be a sad thing for the future generations, who will blame us for doing nothing about it.
