Report H D 7)
INTRODUCTION
The documents searched for this report were often disappointing, There were many hints of interesting additions to the building, but very few concrete facts. The English documents, in particular, yielded little information of value for reconstruction.
The report gives the basic information necessary for construction. Research into many details mentioned in this report will continue, and further information will be added when needed. Other sections will be added (when time permits) concerning the administration of the storehouse, the typica1 contents, and also an appendix on vocabulary.
The recommended reconstruction date is 1740-1745. The artillery and artillery supplies would have been moved to the hangard d'artillerie at this time, thus leaving more space for the remaining supplies, The lists of supplies are less complete for the second French occupations and the storehouse was overcrowded during that period, The original (1727) cobble floor, however, could be displayed although it was covered with a layer of gravel at some later date which has not yet been established.
I would like to acknowledge the assistance that I have received during the writing of this report. Many thanks to Helen Sutermeister for her co-operation; and to Elaine Adams for his interest and suggestions; and to Bruce MacDonald and his colleagues for their patient explanations of architectural terms.

PERIOD OF CONSTRUCTION: 1717-1727
A. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
The construction of the Magasin du Roi was not a simple, straightforward task. The background of Block 1 and particularly of the land which was to contain the Magasin is very complex, and sometimes obscured by loose terminology. The ten year period of construction involved many changes in plans, obstructions, and various other difficulties. The following section is a chronological analysis of plans and documentary evidence dealing with the Magasin in these early years.
The earliest plan, 717-2, showed a Magasin des Vivres in Block 1, and also in Block 2.
Plan 718-2 indicated that Blocks 1 and 17 were to be reserved for the King for artillery and the hangards pour les fortifications. According to the accompanying letter, one area was to be used to build sheds to house building equipment, another was for artillery, and a third (not indicated on plan) was for a hangard pour les vivres. [1]
In 1719 Beaucours, a high ranking officer, was living in the Magasin shown in 718-2, but he was ordered to relinquish it to Isabeau and his workmen. [2]
Plan 720-2a (June) indicated that the building marked B had been built in 1719. Thus Beaucours had probably destroyed or altered the magasin which had been on this property. A building had been built on the south side of Block 1 in 1720 and was marked emplacement du Roy, occupé Par l' entrepreneur. By the end of 1720 (plan 720-2) this building was shown as turning the corner and was marked hangard du Roy.
A letter of June 1721 mentions that Isabeau had been living in the magazin de la fortification but had to move because the King had decided to use the building for a magazin des Vivres. He was supposed to move to Beaucours' house, and Beaucours was to move to the north side of the harbour. [4] Beaucours apparently did not comply with this demand and Isabeau had to move to De Mesy's wing of the old government building (at the foot of the Chateau glacis) when Verville arrived. By December of 1721 Verville had worked on the continuation of the hangard des fortifications which turned a right angle along the Rue Toulouse but only a small part of the roof had been covered in planks. [5]Plan 722-1 showed a building which formed a right angle at the corner of Rue Toulouse and Rue Royale. The block is marked magazins des Vivres, de fortification et d'artlllerie. Beaucours had been allowed to remain in his house because it would have to be destroyed. He was to move into the Chateau as soon as it was finished and Isabeau was to remain in the old government building. [6] On the 12th of May 1722, Block 1 containing the still unfinished hangard des fortiffications was reserved for the King and all private houses were to be removed. [7]
In 1723 Beaucours was still living in the house at the corner of the Quay and the Rue Toulouse. (Building marked A - Plan 723-1, C11A, V. 126, f. 111) On plan 723-1 there was a small building in the interior angle of the hangard, which did not appear on plan 723-4. On the latter plan, Block 1 was marked Parc d'artillerie, celuy des Fortiffications et le magazin des Vivres. Verville was living in the building on the Rue Royale forming a right angle with the Hangard. This hangard, partially completed to a length of 80 pieds, was being used by the stone-cutters. The magasins had been marked out by Verville. [9]
Plan 724-2 shows the proposed continuation of the magasins. The small building contained by the hangard is shown closer to the main building than before. Money was sent to build the magasins pour les vivres. [10]
In 1725 Beaucours and some other inhabitants were still occupying the land which was to be used for the magazine. [12] By December of that year little work had been done on the Magasin(likely the old magazine was meant here) except for small repairs The finished portion was 100 pieds long and was being used to store supplies. [13] Isabeau had failed to order sufficient wood and work on the magasins (presumably the new one) had been delayed. [14].
In 1726 20,000 livres were sent for the continuation of the magazins along the Quay. By November of that year the masonry was finished, and Verrier had added an office heated by a fireplace for the distribution of supplies. The timber of the roofing was in place, part was covered with slate, a part of the paving was laid, and the courtyard was surrounded by pickets. The floors, the finishing, the doors and windows, and the rest of the roof were all that remained to be done. [16]
Another 3000 livres were sent to finish the Magazin des Vivres in 1727. At this time the King ordered that the Garde magasin should move into the lodgings supplied for him in the new storehouse. [19] This is the only reference to such lodgings. On the 15th of September 1727, the first load of supplies was moved into the new storehouse [20] and on November 1, Verrier sent the final Toisé for this building.
B. STRUCTURAL DETAILS
The following section is a topical analysis of the Toisé Definitf of 1727 [22] attempting to establish the structural details of the storehouse as built. The original is included in the documents at the end of the report and should be consulted to establish the context of individual items.

FIRST FRENCH OCCUPATON: 1727-1744
A. STRUCTURAL DETAILS
There is very little conclusive evidence as to structural changes in the King's storehouse during the first period of its occupation. Several repairs and improvements are proposed, and various furnishings are suggested for more convenient storage of supplies, but the implementation of the following cannot be proven historically.
(1) REPAIRS
In 1734 Sabatier indicated that the roof needed repairing'- snow was blowing through the slates and collecting in the attic, damaging both the supplies and the building itself. He recommended a coating of mud (clay ?) similar to that used in the salle d'armes. [33]
The brick frames of the windows on the ground floor were also deteriorating and needed to be replaced with cut stone. Sabatier also recommended that more solid bars be put in, or that two cross-bars be added to the existing ones. [34] Plan 737-5 would seem to indicate that these repairs were not made, at least not to some, since the window frames are shown in brick.
The Toisé for repairs for the storehouse in 1734 and 1735 suggests that the slate roofing was repaired in 1734. In 1735 one shutter in the office was replaced, one pintle, one bolt and one hook were replaced, and the gate and one lock were repaired. [39]
In 1738 Sabatier repeated his request of the previous year for lodging in the proposed extension of the storehouse. [41] He informed the King that the tides had reached the storehouse during a bad storm that fall, and he again recommended that the roof be repaired. [42]
Bigot reorganized the distribution of supplies in 1739 and established another office in the storehouses heated by a woodstove. The location of this office is not mentioned.[44]
Complaints of rotten vegetables in 1740 led Bigot to recommend that the roof be repaired and that the storehouse be enlarged. [46] The latter request is repeated by Verrier in 1744. [39]
In 1744, Verrier constructed a lodging in the courtyard of the storehouse (cayene) for the sailors who manned the port shallop. No details of its location or construction are given, but it was probably a wooden structure. [61]
(2) SAINTE-BARBE (Armoury)
In 1727 De Mesy moved all the cannoneers' utensils from the barracks to a section of the storehouse. [25] His action was approved by the King in the following year. [26]
In 1734 the Saint-barbe contained the artillery supplies, (ustencils d'artillerie) except for the small arms (armes) which had been moved to the new salle d'armes. [32]
The old storehouse was used as a magasin d'artillerie in 1735. At that time there were only a few new gun-carriages and some spare axles stored there. [38] It is likely that these were moved to the new hangard d'artillerie after 1736.
(3) MOLASSES STAND
Even before the completion of the magasin, Sabatier had suggested t'ne construction of a stand (chantier) for storing 80 to 100 barrels (bariques) of molasses. It was to be covered with sheets of lead and should have a vat or trough (cuve) with a grill at one end to catch the overflow. [18]
De Mesy reported in 1727 that he had ordered the construction of a sloping rack for molasses, similar to those built in France for storing tar. It had to be well caulked and tarred at the joins and should have a lead lip on the last strip of wood. A rack to hold 100 barrels would be 25 square toises in area and cost 30 livres a toise, including the joists. [25] The King severely chastised De Mesy for beginning this rack without first sending an estimate for approval. [26]
Since Sabatier again requested the construction of a molasses stand in 1725, it is likely that the one started by De Mesy was never completed. In order to store 110 bariques a rack 24 pieds long, 9 pieds wide, and 9 pieds high, covered with 470 square pieds of lead, would have to be built. He suggested that it be placed in the shed, at the south end of the storehouse. [28-b]
(4) STORAGE BIN (SOUTE)
Diderot describes a soute as a plastered compartment in the lowest part of the stern of a ship where powder and biscuit are kept. It was generally directly beneath the sainte-barbe and was usually lined with tin.
Sabatier recommended in 1726 that a storage bin large enough to hold 400 or 500 quintaux of biscuit should be built. [18] De Mesy advised the King in 1727 that this wasn't really necessary.[25] Sabatier repeated his advice in 1729, and suggested that two large bins be built in the attic close to the wall dividing the old from the new storehouse. They could be used for vegetables as well as for biscuit. [30-b]
There are no further references to these storage bins until 1742, then Bigot wrote that he had stored the biscuit which he had received in the storage bins. [53]
(5) CUPBOARDS
Sabatier recommended in 1729 that two or three large cupboards be built in the room above the office for storing uniforms and similar supplies. They were to be covered with sheets of tin (fer blanc) on the top and bottom and along the edges and should have solid doors (not of panel construction). [28a]
In 1734 Le Normant ordered 100 sheets of tin and Sabatier ordered the wood to build three or four large cupboards of a similar nature. [33] In 1735 the King ordered that the tin should be sent for building these cupboards. [35]
Sabatier also suggested in 1734 that some racks and tables were needed in the room where munitions and artillery supplies were kept. [33]
In 1729 Sabatier mentioned that a demy plancher (?) was needed in the south end of the shed along the arcades in order to store butter and other fats (lards) more efficiently. [28b] His request is repeated in 1734 - this time the demy-plancher was to be used for storing ropes, tools, and other materials used every day. [33]
(B) ORGANIZATION
The organization of the supplies in the storehouse is never specifically mentioned. The outline that follows was suggested by Sabatier in 1729, but it is not known whether this plan was implemented.
OLD STOREHOUSE
- munitions, articled equipment
MAIN FLOOR
- along the Rue Toulouse, adjoining the old storehouse
- the shed at the same end
UPPER FLOOR
- the room above the office
- salle d'arme adjoining the room above the offices including a room for the armourer
- near the partition wall separating the two storehouses proposed bins for storing biscuit and vegetables
COURTYARD
- firewood (1740) (48); still there in 1742 [55]
- a number of old cannon from various parts of the fortification [51]
III.
ENGLISH OCCUPATION:
1745-1749
The English were not at all impressed with the construction or the condition of the French buildings. Knowles and Bastide described the King's storehouse in 1746 as being in the same style as the Artillery storehouse - "more a Barn than anything else, having neither ceiling, Pavement or Floor". [62] Knowles refused to put the stores in the "Naval Storehouses" because they were neither wind nor water proof. [64] The roof of the King's storehouse was repaired in 1746 [63], and additional repairs were made in 1747, but even then Knowles feared that his supplies would spoil. [66]
Bastide reported in 1749,before the English left Louisbourg, that the storehouse had been completely repaired and fitted with bins and partitions, There are no further details as to the nature of the repairs made by the English. [67]
However, we do know that a rough shed 80 feet long was built in the courtyard and two others were repaired. [67] One of these sheds may have been the sailors' lodging built by the French in 1744. (see plan 746-8)
IV.
SECOND FRENCH OCCUPATION:
1749-1758
A. KING'S STOREHOUSE
The French were mainly concerned with the repairs to the storehouse during the years 1749-1758. They were not satisfied with the conditions in which they found the building, [68, 69] although it would appear from the previous section that the English made extensive and continuous repairs to it. The storehouse was in use by September of 1749 [71] in spite of the need for repairs to the slating and the roof frame. [70] Vegetables were stored in bins in the attic as during the previous French occupation. [72]
Before the end of 1749, the following repairs had been completed: [73]
In 1750 the repairs were continued as follows: [74]
Franquet suggested in 1753 that the wooden storehouse be moved and the King's storehouse be extended along the Quay. [75] It would appear from Bastid'e's report in 1758 that this change was not effected. Although the storehouse was badly damaged during the second siege [76], it may have been used by the English for the duration of their stay. However, it does not seem necessary to continue the documentation past this point.
B. TONNELLERIE - coopers' lodging and shop
No hint of the location of this building is given in the documents. It appears to be a building separate from, but considered an integral part of, the storehouse itself. It could possibly be the rough shed built behind the King's storehouse by the English, but only archaeological investigation can confirm or deny this.
In 1749 [73] the fireplace and chimney were repaired, the structure was roughcast inside and out (crépissage), and the roof was repaired with planks.
In 1750 [74] a small brick chimneys was built in one of the cooper's rooms, the room was plastered (enduit) and the roof was re-covered in planks, except for some shingling that was replaced at one end.

CONCLUSIONS
This section deals with those areas which need clarification or for which there is conflicting evidence and thus will require committee discussion
(1) Buttress (22-14)
The only plan showing the buttress at the side of the old magasin is 726_2. The Toisé gives a length of 4 pieds and a width of 2 pieds for this structure (22-14). The plan shows a sloping mass resting against another bulk of masonry at the right angle formed by the junction of the two magasins. If the average height of the buttress is 6 pieds 6 pouces it must reach a total height of 13 pieds, the height of the old magasin wall plus the foundation. (21-7, 21-8) Because of the lines indicated on the drawing it is likely that the buttress was steeped rather than sloped, and that 5 steps were used.
(2) Doors and windows blocked in the old magasin (22-22)
There is little historical evidence to indicate where these windows and doors were. The Toisé measurements of 15 pieds total length with an average height of 6 pieds could allow for about 4 doors and windows. Hopefully, archaeology will shed some light on this area.
(3) Arches of the arcades in the partition wall (22-47)
The difference in size of the wood frames for arches can mean that 4 were narrower then the others or were lower but covered the same span.
If archaeology can show no significant change in width, an arbitrary, decision may have to be made - possibly the two at the end walls and the two which turn the corner were lower.
(4) Partitions
The possible allocation of partitions is as follows:
(5) Doors
A possible allocation of doors is as follows: (see plan 730-7)
(6) Windows
There are 11 upper storey windows mentioned in the Toisé [22-33] but only 10 shutters [22-90] and 10 sills [22-78]. Thus we have only allocated 10 windows for the upper level.
The arrangement of the windows is as follows:
Only 4 of the windows are listed as having glass panes:
The position of the bars in the windows differs from one plan to another. Plan 726-2 shows 4 perpendicular and one transverse bar. Plan 734-7 shows 4 perpendicular and two transverse bars. It was in this year that Sabatier recommended the second transverse bar. Plan 737-5 shows the same arrangement as in plan 726-2. This arrangement seems to be the most acceptable for reconstruction.
(7) Dormer
Plan 725-9a shows 3 dormers on the facade of the magasin. Plan 726-2 does not show any, nor does plan 734-7. Thus we must conclude that there was only 1 dormer, over the staircase at the west end of the building, overlooking the courtyard. [22-59]
(8) Fleur de lys
A fleer de lys is shown on plan 725-9a on the ridge at the corner of Rue Toulouse and the Quay. It is also shown in plan 726-2 and again in plan 731-30 It does not seem to have to survived the second siege since it does not appear in the Wright view of 1766.
(9) Coat of arms
The coat of arms above the main door of the magasin is not shown in plan 725-9, but it is mentioned in the Toisé of 1727 (22-45) and shown on plan 726-2. It also appears in plan 731-3. From plan 726-2 the coat of arms seems to be a simple shield with 3 fleur de lys topped by a crown. The inscription underneath reads MAGAZIN GENERAL.

DOCUMENTS
APPENDIX A
A document concerning the gravel floor in the Magasin has recently been discovered. It is obviously misdated, but the correct date can be established fairly accurately as somewhere between 1738 and 1760. There is now no question that the gravel floor was an improvement made by the French before the first siege.
This same document raises again the question of the date of construction of the souttes for biscuit am vegetables, and of the cupboards reinforced with tin.
A second document is also very interesting with regard to the Magasin. The floor wads propped up in 1744 with 20 large posts; a wooden gate was built in the courtyard (either replacing the old one or in addition to it); and the picket fence around the courtyard was repaired . Probably the holes in the floor, found during the excavation of the magasin, indicate the location of the posts mentioned in this document.
