Built c1905 for R. Norman Loane, this four square Edwardian house was designed by the same architect who built St. James United Church. Two provincial premiers have lived in this house: J. K. Flemming (premier from 1911 to 1915) and his then teenaged son Hugh John Flemming (premier from 1952 to 1960). James Russell Gilliland (1860-1929), Divisional Superintendent of the CPR, and his family purchased the house in 1916 when they moved to Woodstock.
