What is now Quebec House was originally built between 1530 and 1550. In the 1630s the layout was altered to create the latest fashion. In 1726 Edward Wolfe and his bride rented this house which was then called Spiers. A year later in 1727 their first son, James was born and this was his childhood home. When, at 32, James died a hero in the Battle of Quebec the house was renamed in his honour.
