John A. McDougall (1854-1928) built the McDougall Mansion, which remained in the family until 1946 when it was sold to the Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire. In 1969 the YWCA took possession of the mansion to operate a program for homeless women with addictions, and for those who had been incarcerated and had nowhere to go upon release.
The McDougall House Association was formed in 1969. It was then that the McDougall family granted the Board the use of the family name. The Board purchased a house, located on the corner of 111 Avenue and 108 Street. In 1999, that house was demolished and a larger house was built to house up to 12 women in recovery.
