24 Sussex Drive is the official residence of Canada's Prime Minister. Built in 1866 by Joseph Merrill Currier, a Member of Parliament, it was orginally named Gorffwysfa - a Welsh word for place of peace. It has housed every Prime Minister since the government purchased it in 1943. While the building is not open for visitors, it is worth having a peak through the dense trees.
