McGee's Inn was built for the late John McGee in 1886, according to the inn's website. McGee was appointed Clerk of the Privy Council of Canada in 1882.
According to the McGee's Inn website, it is believed that McGee and his family left the home "sometime after WW1."
"Originally built as his family home, this was a house of grandeur and Victorian charm. Tile workers and artisans were commissioned from as far away as Toronto to build this house," says the McGee's Inn website.
"Their work still remains today in the stunning hand-carved cherry-wood fireplace mantels and beautiful tile hearths. John McGee and his family resided at 185 Daly Avenue for over 30 years."
