Built in 1899 – 1900, this eclectic mansion evokes the opulent lifestyle of Canada’s industrial elite at the turn of the century. Designed by American architect A. W. Fuller, it was the spacious residence of Senator George T. Fulford (1852–1905), who made his fortune in patent medicines. The remarkably fine period interior includes most of the original furniture, fixtures, dinnerware, linens, and objets d'art. The grounds, of which significant elements survive, were landscaped by the prestigious Olmsted Brothers' firm.

Cette belle et spacieuse résidence de style éclectique de la belle époque au Canada est l’œuvre de l’architecte américain A. W. Fuller. Elle témoigne de façon remarquable de la manière de vivre de l’élite des entrepreneurs canadiens, dont le sénateur George Fulford (1852-1905), qui fit fortune dans les médicaments brevetés. Elle a conservé une grande partie des meubles, des appliques, de la vaisselle, du linge et des objets d’art d’origine, évoquant ainsi l’époque dans ses moindres détails. Les jardins, dont subsistent d’importants éléments, avaient été aménagés par la prestigieuse firme d'Olmsted Brothers.
