Abbotsford: Heritage?

Abbotsford: heritage?

by Danielle Hamelin

The Glebe Centre Inc. has opposed City Council's June decision to designate Abbots- ford House a heritage property. Built in 1872, Abbotsford House was the first home- stead of the Glebe. The limestone building was originally owned by Alexander Mutchmor, an early settler and prominent business man, and later by C.H. MacIntosh, Mayor of Ottawa. It became the Protestant Home for the Aged in 1886.
