Today the house is located in Westboro at 529 Richmond Road. The architecture of the house reflects a taste for British classicism, but some elements, such as the windows, are in a more local style that was favoured in Quebec and the Ottawa Valley. The walled garden is a very rare feature for a Canadian farming estate. Although highly prized in Europe, they were never widespread in Canada. It was intended to be both ornamental and useful.
