There are many similar homes along Mackay street that have smaller, heritage-style facades with larger additions/extensions that blend well with the community/surroundings. This proposal appears to fit with that theme. It certainly 'respects' the neighbourhood more than the current structure on the property, which is in a state of decay. I applaud this design and look forward to seeing the building realized.

This property has been left to deteriorate by the two previous owners.

Residents, neighbours, and tourists have all remarked to me upon the unfortunate state of this property in comparison to the rest of the properties on MacKay Street.

Fortunately, there a brand new owner of 227 MacKay who is passionately dedicated to spend the effort and the money required to bring this property up to the standard of the neighbourhood.

We should applaud this kind gesture because no one else was ever willing to take on this monumental task. The proposed design for this property is certainly harmonious with the neighbouring architecture and most respectful of the original design of the house. What more can we ask.

Let us encourage the true "renaissance" of this neglected and forgotten property for the benefit of New Edinburgh's residents, for visitors from other neighbourhoods, and for the tourists who come here to visit Rideau Hall.
