Description

The Martlet House, home of the Department of Development and Alumni Relations and McGill Graduates' Society, was once located on University Street, but, in 1971, it moved to Mountain Street. This new address was originally built in 1925 by Robert Findlay for Alice Hallward. The stone house features high pitched roofs on the exterior and elegant wood details on the interior. When the Graduates' Society began its occupancy, the interior was renovated to some degree, but many of the finely crafted details were left untouched.
