• 24 Sussex Drive, the official residence of the Canadian prime minister, is in total disrepair. 
• The building has been unoccupied since 2015 and is now plagued by mold, rodents, and asbestos. 
• Historic photos show the once-imposing mansion that hosted leaders from around the world.

24 Sussex Drive, the official residence of the Canadian prime minister, is in total disrepair.
