Eaton Hall Book PDF Summary
In 1901 Lady Florence McCrae Eaton married into one of the most prosperous families in the Dominion of Canada. Along with her husband, Sir John Craig Eaton, they assembled a significant parcel of land in King City, Ontario on the advice of Sir Henry Pellatt of Toronto's Casa Loma. After the death of her husband, Lady Eaton retired from her home in Toronto to the seventy-two-room, Norman-style chateau, she had built on their King property – she named it Eaton Hall. This became the center of life and activity for the Eaton family. The estate provided jobs, impacted the local economy and community, and established a firm place in the hearts and minds of the residents of King Township. From its earliest days, Eaton Hall was of great service to the Canadian war effort (WWII). The life and history of Lady Eaton and Eaton Hall will enchant those that long for a gentler, more graceful, period in time. The Eaton family lived (and continue to live) a fabulous but charitable and well-earned life; an ode to the original patriarch of the Canadian retail industry and the Eaton family, Timothy Eaton. Eaton Hall hosted opulent parties; fundraising events; was home of the hunt; and, high-society drama; fascinating in any time. The history of this landmark will explore the property pre-Eaton occupation; the men who designed and built the Canadian castle; the many other buildings on the farm and estate; and, the local people who lived there, worked there, and have felt its influence over the past 75 years.
