Bellevue House
Built about 1840, Bellevue House is one of the most interesting examples surviving in Canada of Italian Villa architecture, a style that was new in the country and novel in Kingston. This type of residence subsequently became popular in Canada. John A. Macdonald, later first Prime Minister of Canada, lived here with his family from August, 1848, to September, 1849. At the time the rising young lawyer was Member for Kingston in the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada.
Villa Bellevue
La demeure familliale en 1848-1849, de John A. Macdonald, avocat, et députè de Kingston à l’assemblée législative du Canada-Uni, plus tard sir John, et que forma le premier Cabinet Fédéral sous la confédération, 1867. Érigée vers 1840, Bellevue est un bel exemple de ces villas de style Italien, alors nouveau au Canada, et qui eut, par la suite, une certaine vogue.
