- Sitting proudly atop the corner of Fairmont & Kenilworth, predating the construction of the Civic Hospital, this is one of the original 6 homes in the area. Impressively, this home represents a significant piece of history for the Dominion Observatory.
The picture in the gallery (circa 1916), shows the home when owned by Ernest Hodgson, one of the original scientists of the Observatory. Ernest's son John, who lived in the home as a child, followed in his father's footsteps & went on to be the director, having written books about its history. Not enough? John's son was a well known Canadian blues musician Sneezy Waters. REALLY, if these walls could talk! Today, this majestic Victorian home has been lovingly & professionally renovated top to bottom, inside-out, all while maintaining the architectural charm, character & integrity of the period. 4 generous bedrooms, the principal w/ sitting area, walk in closet & elegant bath. Custom designed kitchen & baths. Loft/studio/gym above garage.
