Ravenscrag, Renaissance Revival mansion in Ville-Marie, Canada.
The grey stone mansion spans 53,475 square feet across 72 rooms, featuring a 75-foot tower and arched windows overlooking Montreal.
Built in 1863 for Sir Hugh Allan, Ravenscrag surpassed every Canadian residence in size and cost except for Casa Loma in Toronto.
The mansion served as Montreal's social center, hosting notable events including an 1869 dinner for Prince Arthur attended by high society.
Located at 1025 Pine Avenue West, the mansion now operates as part of McGill University's Allan Memorial Institute for psychiatric services.
The mansion's conservatory stretched 98 feet long and displayed fragrant flowers during the celebrated New Year's Ball gatherings.
