Nagle House - Ottawa - Ontario Heritage Properties on Waymarking.com

"Built in 1872, it is surprising that this is the oldest surviving residence in Downtown. Development pressures have resulted in many older homes being torn down over the decades.

This house was built for Richard Nagle, who worked in the squared timber business and became one of the region's most successful dealers in timber limits. (Certainly he was no match for Lumber King J.R. Booth, whose timber limits were the equivalent of mile-wide strip stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean.)

While simple in design, when built the house was considered a model housing style, with rooms opening off a central hall. Windows can be found only on the front and rear façades, pointing to the pressures of urban crowding."
