CaptionBoivin Family Home
Additional InformationThis house is a scale model of one of the two homes of Joseph Boivin's father. The two end staircases, the covered porch around the whole length of the main structure, the central door, and the French roof are typical elements of traditional Quebec architecture. This elaborate construction bears witness to the Boivins' love of traditional architecture in general, and their family home in particular, as well as their love of birds.
