New ownership has put the future of this property into jeopardy.
Designed by pioneering modernist architect, and founder of Canadian Architect Magazine, James A. Murray in 1963 for Dr. Burdett Harrison McNeel and his wife Helen.
The McNeel House sits atop the Scarborough Bluffs, it is distinguished by its flat roof, thin posts and beams, board and batten cladding and large windows.
The interior has been remarkably maintained and features a roof pop-up with clerestory windows over a sunken living room.
In addition to the iconic commercial buildings Murray created, he also designed many exquisite private residences many of which have since been demolished. The McNeel House remains as a rare surviving home designed by one of Canada's leading mid-century modernist architects.
