Parkwood

Parkwood is a rare surviving example of the grand estates of the inter-war years, consisting of a richly decorated house set in 12 acres of grounds. Originally constructed in 1916-1917 to the designs of the Toronto firm of Darling and Pearson, the house was the home of Colonel Robert Samuel McLaughlin, President of General Motors of Canada. His wife, Adelaide, took a particular interest in the gardens designed by H.B. and L.A. Dunington-Grubb in the 1920s and in the magnificent formal garden constructed in 1935-1936 to the designs of John Lyle.
