Willowbank Estate, Greek Revival mansion in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Canada.
The three-and-a-half-storey mansion sits on a five-hectare property overlooking the Niagara River, featuring paired wooden Ionic columns and tuck-pointed stone walls.
Built between 1834 and 1836 for Alexander Hamilton, the third son of Upper Canada founder Robert Hamilton, who served as sheriff of the Niagara District.
The estate exemplifies the architectural preferences of elite colonial settlers in Upper Canada, who constructed large houses amid the surrounding wilderness landscape.
Located at 14487 Niagara Parkway, the estate now functions as the School of Restoration Arts, offering hands-on training in heritage preservation techniques.
The mansion maintains its original character with eight hand-carved columns and is constructed from local Whirlpool Sandstone, a material specific to the region.
