The Dickinson House in Manotick was built in 1863 by Moss Kent Dickinson.
It was one of the earliest houses in Manotick and served the community over
time as more than a family residence. It was at various times a general store,
a post office, a telegraph office, a meeting place for local organizations, and
it is believed as a campaign headquarters for Sir John A. MacDonald (the first
prime minister of Canada) when he ran in the Carleton riding in the 1887 election.
