History

The house is associated with the MacKendrick family that built the estate that is now Gairloch Gardens. Dane MacKendrick built the subject house on the estate, originally developed by his father Colonel W.G. MacKendrick, a notable local and provincial figure. The house is also associated with William Gould Armstrong, a well-known architect who worked for his father’s architectural firm in Toronto, as well as designing buildings in Oakville and Mississauga. He was the architect of the Studio, the designated structure now in Gairloch Gardens.
