History

The mansion was built for George Stephen, 1st Baron Mount Stephen (1829–1921). It has been used by various Hollywood stars for period films. These stars include Alec Baldwin, Christopher Plummer, Eric Roberts, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Richard Chamberlain.[1]

The mansion was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1971, as the best example of a Renaissance Revival house in Canada, and due to its association with George Stephen.[2][3]
