Willowbank

4
Willowbank, named for the magnificent willow trees that once graced its grounds, is an elegant example of the great rural estates of early 19th-century Upper Canada. Built for local businessman Alexander Hamilton between 1834 and 1836, the manor house is distinguished by its sophisticated exterior design and imposing front portico. The property illustrates the Romantic fusion of Classical Revival architecture, then at its height in British North America, with a Picturesque landscape, and stands as one of the finest country estates of its type in Canada.
