The house at 18 Barrie St. is a Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s landmark, a pre-Confederation home with antebellum romance in its distinctive façade. Home to generations of a prominent Kingston family and lovingly restored after being deeded to the university in 1994, 18 Barrie is now home to offices of the dean of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Health Sciences.
The house enjoys exclusive views of City Park, Macdonald Park, and the St. Lawrence River. It was where Canadian Medical Hall of Fame physician Peter Macklem (BA카지노 게임 컬렉션53) grew up and where current Bank of Canada governor Tiff Macklem (Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션83) visited his grandmother as a child.
But for Ian Szlazak (Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션74) in the early 카지노 게임 컬렉션70s, 18 Barrie was the student digs he shared with two older ladies, a grand home with a faded elegance just a quick stroll to class.
Mr. Szlazak had come to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s from Saskatchewan in 1970 and spent his first year in residence at the recently built Gordon-Brockington House. Second-year students, however, were strongly encouraged to move out. For most undergrads, that meant finding a house within the 카지노게임사이트 District with lots of friends, relatively few rodents, a modicum of insulation, and a living room big enough to host a decent get-together. Not so Mr. Szlazak.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I카지노 게임 컬렉션m still maybe not the most extroverted person in the world,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Mr. Szlazak. 카지노 게임 컬렉션I was kind of a serious student and didn카지노 게임 컬렉션t have any close friends that I was going to board with.카지노 게임 컬렉션
He doesn카지노 게임 컬렉션t remember how he heard of the room at 18 Barrie. But he does remember meeting with its septuagenarian owner and her elderly housekeeper before taking the room. 카지노 게임 컬렉션This lady was looking for [a boarder], but only for one,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Mr. Szlazak.
The 카지노 게임 컬렉션lady카지노 게임 컬렉션 was Katherine Bermingham Macklem, niece of Kingston locomotive tycoon Cornelius Bermingham and his wife, Sarah. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Uncle Con and Aunt Sally,카지노 게임 컬렉션 as Mrs. Macklem called them, purchased the 1862 house in 1905 and renovated it, adding the pediment and massive columns that distinguish it today. The house passed to Mrs. Macklem in 1937. By then, she had been married for 10 years to Oliver Tiffany Macklem (Tiff to his friends), a professor at the Royal Military College of Canada.
After Tiff카지노 게임 컬렉션s death in 1959, Mrs. Macklem rented some of the home카지노 게임 컬렉션s rooms to students, according to the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Encyclopedia. By then her son, Peter, had become a doctor and her boarders were almost exclusively medical students. Mr. Szlazak, an arts student, was apparently a latter-day anomaly.
Mr. Szlazak would later become a labour and employment lawyer and enjoy a successful career as a mediator and adjudicator. But in September 1971, he was a teenager moving into a high-ceilinged front room on the second floor of an imposing home. He remembers 18 Barrie as 카지노 게임 컬렉션a grand old house,카지노 게임 컬렉션 and his bedroom was no exception: it had a four-poster bed, a bureau, a night table, and a massive antique desk, 카지노 게임 컬렉션one of those deep desks that you sort of insert yourself into.카지노 게임 컬렉션 It also had a private bathroom.
카지노 게임 컬렉션It was far nicer, palatial almost, compared with what some of the [other undergrads] were living in,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Mr. Szlazak says.
His elderly roommates precluded the usual student shenanigans, which suited Mr. Szla-zak just fine. 카지노 게임 컬렉션It made it a pretty tame place to live. I wasn카지노 게임 컬렉션t having 카지노 게임 컬렉션chicks카지노 게임 컬렉션 in or partying. But I wasn카지노 게임 컬렉션t that kind of guy at that point.카지노 게임 컬렉션
One of his enduring memories of 18 Barrie is of entering its grand panelled foyer after a night at Douglas Library or the student pub 카지노 게임 컬렉션to be greeted by Mrs. Macklem, parked in her living room chair in front of the television news, sipping her Dewar카지노 게임 컬렉션s.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Mr. Szlazak didn카지노 게임 컬렉션t know much about the home카지노 게임 컬렉션s history before reading a profile of his former landlady카지노 게임 컬렉션s grandson, Bank of Canada governor Tiff Macklem, in the Spring 2021 edition of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Alumni Review. The article also revealed his old lodgings카지노 게임 컬렉션 repurposing by the university. It tickles him to think that the dean of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Health Sciences, former federal Minister of Health Dr. Jane Philpott, now does business just down the corridor from where he crammed for exams.
카지노 게임 컬렉션It wasn카지노 게임 컬렉션t a hip place to live카지노 게임 컬렉션 at the time, says Mr. Szlazak. But its history makes for a good story now.
