Thank you for the post. My Great Grandparents Mr. & Mrs. Lorne C. Haugh owned a home on Ada Boulevard back around this time. Their youngest son is now in his mid 90's. The house is long gone now. I drove past here the other night with my Mom. It was very well decorated for Christmas. I have always been drawn to this house. My favorite on Ada Boulevard. 🎄💕🎄
I have been in love with the McGrath Mansion since I was a kid. Even as an adult I still park and walk around the block just to stare at it. I totally feel her when she talked about watching it start to decline. I am so grateful they bought and restored it. Like her I have always wanted to go inside and tour it. Edmonton has never been good at keeping old architecture. Long history of tearing everything down and building boxes. It's heart breaking really.
I was in this house in 1984 when it was owned by the church. My friends grandmother was a maid and let us come and see it. It was called Bishops mansion as it was his home under the Catholic Church. The bunker “safe”was full of old literature and books hundreds of years old. The food was brought up from a kitchen basement by an elevator trolly directly into the upstairs dining room. Nice to see again although 200% more modern and repaired ❤
What a beautiful home. Thank you for keeping nostalgia and perfection to it's finest state.
Such a beautiful home full of history. Very well done, amazing video 👏🏻👏🏻

Gorgeous work on the restoration. So happy it found an owner who truly cares for this amazing home.
Such an amazingly beautiful house! ❤️

Did they renovate the pool?
Hi Cheryl, to the best of our knowledge the pool was left alone.
