"The original section of this mansion was erected around 1869 for William F. Whitcher, Commissioner of Fisheries. It was a 2 1/2 storey house built in the Picturesque Gothic Revival style. The Children’s Hospital, which occupied the structure from 1888 until 1904, probably added the two wings and the late-Victorian half-timbering."
