The Farm, Official residence in Gatineau Park, Canada

The Farm includes a renovated farmhouse with two wings, five outbuildings, and 1.74 hectares of fields and forests in Kingsmere Hills.

The residence was built in 1850 by settler Henry Fleury and later purchased by Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King in 1927.

The property symbolizes Canadian governmental heritage as the designated residence for Speakers of the House of Commons since 1955.

The National Capital Commission manages and maintains the residence, which requires investments of 1.34 million dollars for system maintenance repairs.

Former Prime Minister Mackenzie King spent his final days at this property, passing away there on July 22, 1950.
