In 1886 William l-Iarris designed his most elaborately ornamented house (below, left) for the widow of the Reverend John Macme who had been minister to the Selkirk settlers at St John's Presbyterian Church, Belfast, east of Charlottetown It still stands at 237 Prince Street, substantially intact, but now divided into apartments that have nwessitated some minor changes. The house is a cookie cutters dream - or nightmare- -adorned with ' . .. ~ fretwork rabbits, foxes and squirrels The bargeboards are a riot of quatrefoils. Gingerbread trim is everywhere In keeping with the canons of the Queen Anne Style the elevations are non- symmetrical, and each difi‘ers from the others. In the 18805 Harris provided most of his houses with veranda-like side entrances, surmounted by open balconies on the second floor. Those on the MacLennan house have been walled in to make some of the apartments larger.

Just up the street, at 169 Euston, is the JD. MacLeod house (above, right), built the same year, but less elaborate in its trim. It has board and batten cladding in the gables and in a belt between the first and second floors - another Harris signature from this period of his career. The photograph shows the house in its original appearance, before the entrance veranda and the balcony above it were made into a sunporch with Doric features inappropriate in a Queen Anne Style building. However, an enclosed stairway giving separate access to an upstairs apartment has been devised in a manner sympathetic to the style of the house.
