Earnscliffe is a Victorian manor in Ottawa, Ontario, built in the Gothic Revival style.
However, since it is a diplomatic residence, it is closed to visitors except for special public events, such as Doors Open Ottawa.
Reynolds resided there for several years, and it was during this period that the house got the name Earnscliffe, an archaic term for "eagle's cliff".
Soon, however, Lady Macdonald and her daughter departed for England and leased the house to Lord Treowen, commander of the militia.
British High Commissioner Andrew Pocock, living in the house at the time, was fine and no one was injured in the fire.
