Booth House, National historic mansion in Centretown, Ottawa, Canada.

The brick residence at 252 Metcalfe Street features carved stone entrances, bay windows, and copper roofs with intersecting ridges and numerous dormers.

Built between 1906 and 1909 for lumber industrialist John R. Booth, the residence remained in family ownership until 1947 when it became the Laurentian Club.

The interior contains eleven public rooms with distinct wood varieties, Italian marble fireplaces, stained glass windows, and handcrafted wood details throughout the residence.

Trinity Western University purchased the property in 2001 and transformed it into the Laurentian Leadership Centre, which offers internship programs for students.

The residence displays Queen Anne style architecture with shaped gables, stone moldings, and a tall chimney stack positioned at the intersection of the rooflines.
