About

This neoclassical stone building by François Baillairgé was Québec's prison from 1813 to 1867, then Morrin College, and is now the home of the Literary and Historical Society of Quebec. Its exterior is free to see on Chaussée des Écossais in the heart of Old Québec. Note that the interior is not free: it can only be visited on a paid guided tour or with a library day pass.
