A Fieldstone Gem

This wonderful Georgian style home is now known as McLean House and is owned by the Sunnybrook Health Science Centre and is rented out as an event venue with the funds going towards research at the hospital. It was originally built in 1928 and was called Bay View as it sat atop rolling hills on 50 acres of land looking down towards Lake Ontario. Tomorrow I will show you its coach house.
