"Macdonald's early years of growing up and attending school, his legal training and subsequent beginnings as an attorney are all related to Kingston. Macdonald's earliest years in Kingston are associated with 110-112 Rideau Street, a house which Lieutenant Colonel Donald Macpherson, husband of Helen Macdonald's half-sister, had purchased in 1824. When only fifteen years old, Macdonald began training for the legal profession." (

Personal Experience:
I'd parked in front of this house many times for work, saw the plaques but never took the time to read them. A geocache changed that and hopefully this waymark will for others as well.
