List of Prime Ministers of Canada by residence

Before 1951 the Prime Minister of Canada had no official residence and they lived in a variety of structures around Ottawa. All of these residences were under private ownership at the time except for R.B. Bennett's suite at Château Laurier which was owned by Canadian National Railways (a crown corporation at the time). Some residences, such as Laurier House, were under the direct ownership of the Prime Minister(s) residing there. Those Prime Ministerial residences that were not owner-occupied were rented at the personal expense of the Prime Minister in question.
