History of the home
Few streets have as much Canadian history and politics as Daly Avenue in Ottawa. This is one of the oldest streets in Ottawa. From the late 1800 there lived, 3 Prime Ministers, a clerk of the Privy Council, a lawyer for John Whelan (assassin of Thomas D’Arcy McGee), 6 Fathers of Confederation, several Superior Court judges, mayors, lumber barons, Lieutenant Governors, a major Canadian poet and Canada’s first woman Senator.
The house was built as the family home of John McGee, clerk of the Privy Council in 1886. Their son, Frank McGee was a member of the Ottawa Silver Seven hockey team and one of hockey’s greatest scorers. Frank won the Stanley Cup twice and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1945. Two books have been written about the Silver Seven and Frank McGee:
Dawson City Seven and
Killing Frank McGee by Donald Reddick.
McGee’s is a three-storey late Victorian House with a Baroque entrance portico, typical of the late Victorian period. Tuscan columns with Doric flutes stand beneath the capital and the elliptical arch reflects the arches over the windows.
McGee's Inn is owned and
operated by the Armstrong
family. Ken, Judy, their
son Jason and his wife Sarah, invite
you to enjoy their family
style hospitality. |
