Ardwold, Historical mansion in Toronto, Canada

The Georgian style residence contained fifty rooms, fourteen bathrooms, and a private hospital wing across eleven acres of landscaped grounds.

Built in 1909 for Sir John Craig Eaton, president of the T. Eaton Company Department Store, the mansion represented the peak of Canadian residential architecture.

The name Ardwold derives from Gaelic language, translating to 'high green hill' and reflecting the property's location on Davenport Hill.

The mansion stood near Casa Loma and Spadina House until 1936, when Lady Eaton sold the property before its demolition and transformation into housing development.

The walls of Ardwold proved so substantial that explosives were required for demolition, with only the gate lodge on Spadina Road remaining today.
