Description
24 Sussex Drive has been the official residence of the Prime Minister of Canada since 1951. It is located in the New Edinburgh neighborhood in Ottawa and overlooks the Gatineau hills. The building was originally built in a Victorian style but is now a mid century modern take on Norman Revival architecture. It consists of high gables, extensive verandahs, and a liberal use of gingerbread trim. The NCC maintains the 24 Sussex Drive home, property and selected historic furnishings.
