Photo Title: Port Cochere at Blair Gowie

Description:
Port Cochere and front entrance at Blair Gowie, 2031 Runnymede Avenue.  Home of Harry and Jenny Butchart Ross, designed by Samuel Maclure. Note:There is a question as to the correct spelling of the house name - written "Blair Gowie" on plans submitted by Samuel Maclure. Was it a spelling error and meant to be named after the Scottish town of Blair Gowrie?
