Heritage Canada is
known to have called the Charles Rundle Mansion “one of the
most important historical properties in Canada” The Rundle mansion
is a beautiful example of the Richardsonian Romanesque style as practiced
by E.J. Lennox, A celebrated architect whose ornate designs can also
be seen in such structures as The Massey house, Old City Hall and
Casa Loma.
Charles Rundle was a master builder that worked on
several projects with E.J. Lennox during the period. His family had
a great talent and appreciation for music which is clearly apparent
in the design of the home. The Stained Glass windows and doors, produced
by world famous Robert McCausland, are elaborately decorated with
music and nature themes. These works of art have been fully restored
to their original splendour.
We invite you to join us at Gloucester Square Inns
to take a step back in time to an era of Chivalry, High Tea and 19th
century charm.
