Ardgowan, Victorian house in Parkdale, Charlottetown, Canada
The Ardgowan estate features a Gothic Revival residence with detailed verandah trim, original windows, and a characteristic H-shaped footprint on two hectares of land.
William Henry Pope, one of the Fathers of Confederation, lived in this house from 1854 to 1873 and hosted delegates during the Charlottetown Conference of 1864.
The property represents the architectural preferences of Prince Edward Island's political class during the crucial period of Canadian nation-building in the 1860s.
The grounds remain accessible to visitors while the interior serves as administrative offices for Parks Canada, managing national park sites across Prince Edward Island.
The residence stands as the only documented home of a Prince Edward Island Father of Confederation during the 1864 Charlottetown Conference that shaped Canadian unity.
