It was used for 64 years of the 166 years Ottawa has been the capital. I am struggling to see that as timeless. It was never a Victorian house in those 64 years. It was a generic family home for rich people for 75 years, was vacant for 8 years (except for a brief stint as the Australian High Commission) was a generic family home for politicians for 64 years and has been vacant for 8 years. Nothing special.
People are trying to retroactively give it an importance it never had.
