The history of McLean House dates back to 1929 when James Stanley McLean commissioned the innovative, young Canadian architect, Eric Arthur, to design a unique home for the McLean family.

The result was Bayview, now known as McLean House, one of Ontario's most splendid Georgian-style mansions. Set amidst the natural beauty of Gordon Culham's memorable landscaping, McLean House is as magnificent today as when it was first built.
