It remained in the Booth family until 1947. It then became home of the Laurentian Club, one of Ottawa's leading clubs. The club closed in 2000, however, and the property was bought by Trinity Western University which set up the Laurentian Leadership Centre. It now houses Trinity Western students who are interning with the federal government.
