“Officer Kotonoe, reporting in. Hey everyone, I’d like to introduce myself as the new guard of building 2. I’m pretty new to this whole thing all in all, so I’ll try to do the best I can.” She said as she gave her salute, a grin breaking out when she did so.

Québec Citadel (No. 4)

Building 2, also known as the Men’s Barracks, Former Armoury and Former Powder Magazine, stands within the walls of the Québec Citadel National Historic Site of Canada facing the parade ground near the throat of the Prince of Wales Bastion. Building 2 is a long, rectangular, two-storey masonry building built of smooth limestone, with a hipped roof clad in sheet copper. The main façade of the building has little ornamentation and is regulated and orderly, with small, regularly placed, multi-paned windows. The designation is confined to the footprint of the building.

Heritage Value

Building 2 is a Recognized Federal Heritage Building because of its historical associations, and its architectural and environmental values.

Historical Value Building 2 is associated with the defence of the city of Québec in the colonial defence system under British rule. At the beginning of the 19th century, a deteriorating political and military situation led authorities to increase the number of personnel in the city of Québec. Directly associated with the defence of British North America between 1839 and 1857, the building is more specifically associated with the first phase of improvements to the fortress (1839-1842), which came about as a result of the tension created by the 1837 Rebellion. The building’s strategic position within the fortress made it possible to strengthen the line of defence on the southwest front. Building 2 is also part of the historic district of Old Québec City, which was created in 1963 and declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1985.

Architectural Value Valued for its very good aesthetics, Building 2 is constructed on the principals of English military classicism and reflects the “utilitarian” style, common to British military buildings constructed in Canada, during the first half of the 19th century. Its solid masonry walls are clearly defensive while its good functional qualities can be seen in its simple utilitarian design. In 1949, the building was converted to barracks for military personnel as part of a restoration of the Citadel.  The interior was completely refurbished for its new use.  Excellent craftsmanship is evidenced in the stonework.

Environmental Value Building 2 reinforces the historic character of its site within the Citadel of Québec, and together with the associated adjacent buildings is a well-known local landmark.
