Australia House (Ottawa)

The house is located on a corner lot at 407 Wilbrod Street in the Sandy Hill neighbourhood of Ottawa, near to a number of other embassies and official residences.

Davis died under inauspicious circumstances in 1916 and it lay vacant for several years before being purchased by Colonel Cameron Macpherson Edwards, who had earlier lived at 24 Sussex Drive.

In part because of the war, the Australian delegation in Ottawa was looking for more spacious accommodation, and the newly vacant building met these needs.

Since December 2024, Her Excellency Kate Logan is the latest High Commissioner to reside at Australia House.
