Influenced by British and American models, the Queen Anne Revival favored eclectic historical motifs, picturesque design, varied materials and distinctive windows. In Atlantic Canada, such houses were built of wood and tended to have stately, symmetrical facades and plans. Built in 1905-1907, Winterholme has a splendid opulent interior, featuring decorative plaster and elaborate woodwork. The house is a key landmark in this Historic District . - Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada. In 1993 this magnificent property was restored to a single family home and today is a 4-star Heritage Inn, with 12 well-approached suites and a large main floor that is often used for special functions. In 2005, Winterholme will begin celebrating its 100th year from the start of its construction." |
