Ardwold, Historical mansion in Toronto, Canada
Ardwold was a Georgian mansion in Toronto set on eleven acres of landscaped grounds with fifty rooms, fourteen bathrooms, and a private hospital wing. The house represented an example of grand residential architecture from the early 1900s.
Built in 1909 for Sir John Craig Eaton, president of the T. Eaton Company Department Store, it marked a peak in Canadian residential design. The property was demolished in 1936 after Lady Eaton sold it for residential development.
The name Ardwold comes from Gaelic, meaning "high green hill," which reflected where the property sat on Davenport Hill.
The mansion stood in a wealthy Toronto neighborhood near Casa Loma and Spadina House. Today, only the gate lodge on Spadina Road remains from the original property for visitors to see.
The walls were so thick that demolition required explosives to bring it down. This solid construction shows how well-built such estates were in that era.
