The structure was built on the foundations of the house erected in 1644 for Marie-Madeleine de Chauvigny, known as Madame de La Peltrie, secular founder of the Ursulines. The new addition alleviated the problem of a lack of space for the increasingly large numbers of day students.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_media_grid element_width=&#8221;12&#8243; gap=&#8221;10&#8243; item=&#8221;7243&#8243; grid_id=&#8221;vc_gid:1614009210703-43e596f5-92db-10&#8243; include=&#8221;9871&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1613575420341{padding-left: 50px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">In 1857, the building housed the girls\u2019 section of the Laval Normal School, which had just been established. Teachers from the boys\u2019 section of the school taught the education classes to the girls, while the nuns were responsible for the drawing, music, embroidery and English classes. From the time it opened until 1930, when the institution moved to Saint Louis Road and became the Laval Normal School of Merici, 4,700 girls earned their teaching diplomas. The section for the day students remained in operation until 1954.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><br \/>\r\nThe building subsequently became home to the Ursulines\u2019 Provincial House, followed by the Marie of the Incarnation Center. Madame de La Peltrie\u2019s house was named a heritage building in 1964, and it was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1972. The Ursuline Museum has been within its walls since its restoration in 1979.<br \/>\r\n<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section]<\/p>\r\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_section full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1613659934206{padding-bottom: 30vh !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/www.polecultureldesursulines.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/mq_1p_003_015.0294-mod.jpg?id=9872) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221;][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1613575629125{padding-top: 2px !important;padding-bottom: 2px !important;background-color: #167272 !important;}&#8221;][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1614007249905{padding-top: 5% !important;padding-bottom: 10vh !important;}&#8221;][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1613575713514{padding-top: 5% !important;padding-bottom: 10vh !important;}&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;The Building&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h1|text_align:left|color:%23167272&#8243; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1614008854044{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 13px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_media_grid element_width=&#8221;12&#8243; gap=&#8221;10&#8243; item=&#8221;7243&#8243; grid_id=&#8221;vc_gid:1614009210701-810b6ebd-fd4f-8&#8243; include=&#8221;9873&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1613575412672{padding-left: 50px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]The museum [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":9469,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-10173","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.polecultureldesursulines.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10173","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.polecultureldesursulines.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.polecultureldesursulines.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.polecultureldesursulines.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.polecultureldesursulines.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10173"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.polecultureldesursulines.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10173\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.polecultureldesursulines.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9469"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.polecultureldesursulines.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10173"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
