The grand red brick house is profiled by a large L -shaped veranda with stylized Doric columns. Significant interior features include the centre hall plan\, a vestibule door and sidelights with bevelled leaded glass\, a large leaded art glass window that lights the landing of the main staircase\, panelled doors\, and original radiators. \nIn 1993\, the Ontario Historical Society (OHS) entered into a partnership with the former City of North York to preserve and restore the John McKenzie House\, which serves as the provincial headquarters of the OHS. In 2016\, a slate roof restoration project was completed to return the roof back to its original condition. \nVisitor Experience\nVisitors to the John McKenzie House can learn about the history of the house\, which was slated for demolition in the early 1990s.
