The Briars, Heritage house estate in Georgina, Canada.
The Briars features a two-story rubblestone structure with wings added in 1880, including a Manor House and Peacock House on the lakeside property.
Captain William Bourchier constructed the Manor House in 1840, naming it after Saint Helena's Briars where Napoleon Bonaparte spent time in exile.
The property includes the Red Barn Theatre, converted from an original barn in 1949, representing a transformation from agricultural to cultural purposes.
The Ontario Heritage Trust easement ensures the preservation of both the Manor House and Peacock House structures within the 96-room resort complex.
The estate changed from a military captain's residence to a medical doctor's home before becoming a golf course in 1922 and later a resort.
