History
Propriétaire depuis les années 2000, nous sommes très fiers s’avoir redonné l’âme à cette magnifique résidence où aucune famille n’avait habitée depuis la mort de son propriétaire d’origine Monsieur John Murdock.
Depuis 2008, le corps principal de la maison est entièrement dédié au gîte.
Located at the top of Côte du Petit-Bois (now Côte de la Terre-Forte), the residence, designed by architects Gravel and Lamontagne, comprises 23 rooms on two floors. The plans bear the project name: "CHÂTEAU MURDOCK".
It wasn't until 2001 that the house regained its vocation as a family residence, with new owner François Laflamme purchasing the house with his partner Serge Desgagné.
John Murdock
A businessman deeply involved in the city's development since the 1920s, Mr. Murdock's works and accomplishments are already part of Chicoutimi's annals. He was an alderman from 1926-1933.
Mr. Murdock died in 1963, and in 1965 the residence became the property of Mr. Charles-Simon Sirois. Several years later, it was bought by the City of Saguenay and became the home of non-profit organizations.
