Laurier House is one of Ottawa’s most significant heritage buildings, once home to two of Canada’s prime ministers—Sir Wilfrid Laurier and William Lyon Mackenzie King. Located in the city’s historic Sandy Hill neighbourhood, the house offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore Canada’s political past. Inside, guided tours reveal personal artifacts, vintage furnishings, and rooms where major national decisions were once discussed. The surrounding gardens and the building itself are beautifully preserved as a National Historic Site. Laurier House provides an authentic look into early 20th-century life in Ottawa and remains a cornerstone of the city’s historical and cultural tourism.
