The three Holly Leas. No. 1 (top left), about 1873 to 1902, was this simple colonial house, built by Thomas Free, bought by a member of the McLean family in 1873. The figures are members of the Aitken family which lived in the house for about 30 years earlier this century. No. 2 (below left) from 1902 to 1956, McLean’s imposing mansion on Manchester Street, a building whose future use is causing some problems. No. 3 (below right) formerly Quamby, on Fendalton Road. To the left is part of the original wooden house and to the right the brick extensions added when the McLean Institute first took over the property.
