Biography
BERNARD DE LA RIVIÈRE (Darivière), HILAIRE, mason, building contractor, “architect,” royal surveyor, court officer, legal practitioner, seigneurial attorney, and notary; b. c. 1640 in France; buried 1 Dec. 1729 at Quebec.
Hilaire Bernard de La Rivière was a building contractor. It was in this capacity that in 1688 Bishop Saint-Vallier [La Croix], who was at the time in France, engaged him to direct the work of enlarging the cathedral of Quebec and of building a church in Lower Town, the future Notre-Dame des Victoires. Once in Canada, La Rivière asked Intendant Champigny [Bochart] to commission him as “royal measurer and surveyor”; this was done on 20 July 1689, even more easily perhaps since – as the intendant mentions – he had already exercised the same functions in France. He came to Canada with his wife, Marguerite Gillet. As far as we know, the couple had no children. Madame La Rivière was drowned at Sept-Îles, in 1693, when the Carossol was shipwrecked on the way back to
