About Monument-Lefebvre
Monument-Lefebvre is the one National Historic Site in Memramcook. The register gives 1896–1898 for Monument-Lefebvre. Its design is credited to James C. Dumaresq. One other place on the registers stands within 400 m.
The Monument Lefebvre is a large cube-like building with a balanced composition. Constructed of rough-faced stone in an eclectic, late 19th-century manner, it has a monumental front façade accessed by a flight of stone steps. The building’s visual significance is enhanced by its siting on the crest of a hill overlooking the grounds of the former campus of the Memramcook Institute in St. Joseph, New Brunswick. The building contains an auditorium on its upper floor. The designation is confined to the footprint of the building.
