A place of the past

2008.09.05













Casa Loma is the former estate of Sir Henry Mill Pellatt, a prominent Toronto financier, industrialist and military man. Sir Henry commissioned the noted architect E. J. Lennox to help him realize a life-long dream that is to create a "medieval" castle on the hill overlooking Toronto.

The construction begun in 1911 and too 300 men nearly three years to complete costing $3.5 million at that time. Sir Henry and his wife Lady Mary enjoyed Casa Loma for less than ten years before financial misfortune forced them to abandon his castle home.
