History: This historical home was built in 1901, under the direction of J.W.H. Watts, one of Ottawa's leading architects of the time for Andrew Fleck, a prominent broker and partner with his father in law J.R.Booth in the Canada Atlantic Railway. In 1941, Senator Norman Paterson bought the house and remained until his death in 1983 at the age of 100. In 1992, the present owners purchased the property and began a major restoration project which was completed in 1993 and opened as a B & B with meeting facilities and a health centre.
