The Anglo-Saxon ancestry of the inhabitants of New Carlisle had a strong influence on the architecture of its houses. The modest dwellings from the beginning of colonization were gradually replaced or remodeled. The buildings were always in wood, but were more spacious and presented architectural characteristics that were encountered on land exploited by an Anglophone population: the establishment, set away from the road, of rectangular housing, covered by aging wood, at the summit of two vertical slopes.
