279 Ste. Marie Street 2 ½ storey, gabled house with painted ground floor and asphalt-shingles above (c.1900). Description - Appearance of house is compromised by extensive alterations, though fundamental structure is little changed. Ground floor, reached by plain, pressure-treated platform with meagre canopy above, is dark green rough-cast with thin corner boards. Pressed-metal front door, with multiple upper panes, is obvious replacement, as is large, rectangular front window, with curious, slat-type shutters. Lower floor is crowned with peripheral wooden stringcourse (now hidden). Second floor has two replacement, 1/1 windows set in slightly bell-cast walls, the latter now clad in brown asphalt shingles. Another peripheral wooden stringcourse crowns this level, against which main roof eaves have plain boards. Full-width gable has traditional form, with both lower pitch and wall above clad in asphalt shingles as at second floor. Broad, 4/2 window with wide, profiled casings is centred in gable. Peripheral moulding abuts beaded soffit boards, while fascia has simple, alternating, square and rectangular coffers. Roof is clad in more brown asphalt shingles.
