Description

Commissaire-Ordonnateur's Property - In the offices overlooking the quay, the administrator and clerks filled books of correspondence, maintained the accounts, and compiled statistical reports for the Ministry of Marine. The engineer built Louisbourg, the governor symbolized its authority, the man here kept the colony running.

They paid the colony's bills from the well-guarded treasury and filled the storerooms behind the building with their supplies. Everything from economic policy to civil justice was managed from here. Built as a private residence, the house became royal property in 1733 and expanded with the power of its occupants.

The administrators were professional servants of the Crown who hoped to win promotion by proving themselves. Francois Bigot established his reputation by able and devoted service as Ile Royale's commissaire-ordonnateur from 1739 to 1745, while his sharp investments simultaneously laid the foundation of his wealth. Duly promoted, he gained fortune and disgrace as the last Intendant of New France.
