Located at 334 Laurier Avenue East, this house was the residence of two of Canada's Prime Ministers -W.L. Mackenzie King and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. The entire house is open to the public. The colourful King's possessions are the most prominent items on display in the house, among which is included his crystal ball (King was a firm believer in the spirit world) and a portrait of his mother, which he placed a rose in front of every night before going to bed. Memorabilia belonging to both men are on display, as is a reconstruction of Nobel Prize winning Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson's study. More information (613) 992-8142
