Our house 9, Haldimand street, put up for Perrault's son-in-law, the notary Errol Boyd Lindsay, in 1832 or 1833, is built of grey ashlar, probably Pointe-aux-Trembles stone, and is obviously architect-designed.

Its windows are scaled according to the storeys, and are surrounded by fine stone moulds instead of the old-fashioned dressed-stone surrounds, while the ground floor is arcaded in the Regency manner of Henry Musgrave Blaiklock - cf. Old Custom House, Champlain Street, and 73 St.Ursule, built when Blaiklock was almost the only British-trained architect in town.

It is true that it was in 1832 that the Dublin-trained architect George Browne (also in Quebec when 73 Ste.Ursule was constructed) called for tenders for "two Houses with cut stone fronts in Haldimand street"; but it does not appear that two were ever built in this location so perhaps that project was dropped, and no other houses in this style by Browne are known.

The mason also had to excavate and install a patent water-closet which, with hot and cold water baths, is mentioned in several early advertisements to lease the house.
