The two-storey red brick dwelling with yellow brick trim at 87 MacKay Street is recommended for designation as being of architectural and historical value. Erected circa 1877 in the Picturesque Style, the building features a projecting frontispiece with centre gable, decorative barge boards and an offset entranceway. Early tenants were Achille Frechette, lawyer, Separate School Board Chairman, journalist, and chief translator to the House of Commons, and his wife Annie Thomas Frechette, a local author. Recently restored, the building's overall combination of horizontal symmetry, side-pitched roof, and the steeply pitched centre gable, frontispiece, and Victorian detail reflect its Rideau Valley origins.
