7 Rideau Gate

7 Rideau Gate is the Canadian government's official guest house for distinguished visitors, such as heads of state and high-level government officials. The house is located in Ottawa, Ontario, directly between Rideau Hall and 24 Sussex Drive.

History

Designed by architect Alan Keefer, the house was built in 1862 by Henry Osgoode Burritt, an Ottawa mill-owner, and was obtained by the Crown in 1966. The house was restored and renovated in 1989 to reinstate historical features as well as to upgrade the guest facilities.
