RALPH CONNOR HOUSE Built for the Reverend Charles Gordon in 1913–1914, this large, stately residence reflects his position as a leading Presbyterian clergyman and the best-selling Canadian author of the early 20th century. Thirteen of the 22 Christian adventure novels he wrote under the pen name Ralph Connor, many of them exciting, fast-paced stories preaching a message of salvation and hope, were published while he was living here. This house also represents the public face of Gordon, who for 23 years used it as a manse from which he pursued parish duties and social activism.

MAISON RALPH CONNOR Construite pour le révérend Charles Gordon en 1913-1914, cette prestigieuse demeure témoigne de la position sociale de cet éminent ecclésiastique presbytérien, le plus grand auteur à succès du Canada au début du XXe siècle. Lorsqu’il vivait ici, il publia 13 des 22 romans d’aventures d’inspiration chrétienne, écrits sous le pseudonyme de Ralph Connor. Plusieurs de ses récits, passionnants et très rythmés, livrent un message d’espoir et de salut. Cette résidence représente l’image publique de Gordon, qui s’en servit comme presbytère pendant 23 ans et y exerça d’importantes activités paroissiales et militantes.
