Final Views In And Out
Laurier House is a marvel to visit, seeing the personal residence of the Lauriers and Mackenzie King, their artifacts and mementos. You feel their presence here.
Leaving the place, I noticed more snow on the ground than when I'd arrived.
Thanks for the tour, William. Laurier House is a beautiful building from the outside en inside it's a very interesting building with all those artefacts.
I also feel as if the people are still in the room or I can place them in the room when so many personal items are on display. You made this tour realistic.
@Tomas: at least these two. Until 24 Sussex Drive came into the government's possession, a prime minister's residence in town was where ever suited them.
@Marianne: we shall see if it gets that cold this winter.
gorgeous mirror. love the architecture too. ( : thanks for kind comment on my blog. it has been a trying, learning? tough road, it will get better. fingers crossed.
Looking at the snow, it must be very cold out there! Keep warm and have a great weekend!
