Not a single house was built that resembles its neighbour
During the 1970s, Alcan gave municipal officials the plans of all the houses designed by the aluminum company and built in Arvida. The City of Saguenay wishes to thank the company for this priceless legacy.
To learn more about the different house models and their location, download the documents below, see the book Les maisons d’Arvida 1926/1948 by professor Lucie K Morisset, on sale at the Arvida Heritage Centre boutique, or view the lecture the author gave at the book launch in May 2022.
