• Notes

  From 1920, when Annie and Jessie Low purchased the property, the house had a connection to strong literate women. Three Low sisters, Annie (1872-1944), Jessie (1874-1939), and Mildred (1878-1963), had been involved at some time with the Ottawa Free Press, an early newspaper. Over the years, they supported the Canadian Women’s Press Club, an organization promoting the advancement of women in journalism. Cette maison est étroitement liée des femmes fortes et littéraires depuis son achat en 1920 par Annie et Jessie Low. Les trois soeurs Low, Annie (1872-1944), Jessie (1874-1939), et Mildred (1878-1963), ont travaillé un moment ou l’autre pour un des premiers journaux d’Ottawa, le Ottawa Free Press. Pendant des années, elles ont appuyé le Canadian Women’s Press Club, une organisation qui encourageait l’implication des femmes en journalisme. [1]
