Maplelawn, National historic site and former estate in Westboro, Ottawa, Canada
The two-and-a-half-story stone house features a symmetrical five-bay facade, hipped roof, and two end chimneys in British classical architectural style.
William Thomson, a retired British army officer, built Maplelawn between 1831 and 1834 as the center of a 200-acre farming estate near Bytown.
The interior displays refined craftsmanship with a Neoclassical semi-elliptical arch entrance hall, curved staircase, and detailed period-specific woodwork throughout.
The property now houses The Keg Manor restaurant at 529 Richmond Road, while volunteers maintain the historical gardens for public viewing.
The one-acre walled garden represents one of the few remaining examples of early 19th-century enclosed gardens in Canada, with both ornamental and practical sections.
