Maison Busteed (French for 'Busteed House'), a.k.a. Bordeaux House, was a house in Quebec, the oldest within the geographical boundaries of Gaspésie.[1] It was situated within the unceded territories of Listuguj Miꞌgmaq First Nation on the banks of the Restigouche River.[2] The house, wooden and built in a British style,[3][4] burnt down on May 31, 2020.[1] As of June 2020, the fire was being investigated as arson.[2]
