The J.W. Strutt designed ‘Shore House’ on Mountain Road is a modernist original, designed in 1954 for a friend and business associate, John Shore, who was himself a reputable builder of the era. The current inhabitants are the third owners of the property and it has been maintained mostly in its original condition, with empathetic updates. It is a wonderful home sited at the base of the Eardley Escarpment raised slightly above the Mountain road, backing onto the Gatineau Park. The perfect spot, close to the city, but an idyllic getaway for living and entertaining.
The Shore House occupants recognize the prize! More information coming soon. Additional information on the house can be found in the “Inventaire du patrimoine moderne – Secteur d’Aylmer” on the City of Gatineau’s website. (www.gatineau.ca)
