It was constructed from 1911 to 1914 as a residence for financier Sir Henry Pellatt. The architect was E. J. Lennox, who designed several other city landmarks. ![Casa Loma's battlemented stone tower](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0732.jpg) ![Casa Loma's towers and central stone facade](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0640.jpg) ![Stone towers above Casa Loma's spring garden](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0642.jpg) ![Tall bay window set into stone walls](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0654.jpg) ![Casa Loma's entrance beneath its towers](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0663-1.jpg) ![Turret and chimneys against a clear sky](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0669.jpg) ![Round stone tower framed by trees](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0708.jpg) ![Casa Loma's upper windows and battlements](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0718.jpg) ![Arched windows around a stone courtyard](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0731.jpg) I have had the pleasure of visiting Casa Loma twice. The pictures you are seeing are from the first time. I did the tour of the museum looking at the amazing architecture and gorgeous wood work. ![Large multipane window in a projecting stone bay](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0744.jpg) ![Formal garden beds bordered by stone paths](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0750.jpg) ![Red tulips beside a curved stone balustrade](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0659.jpg) ![Casa Loma rises beyond flowering branches](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0715.jpg) ![Mixed spring flowers around a central shrub](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0727.jpg) ![Red and yellow tulips in sunlight](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0739.jpg) ![Ivy climbs a stone wall above a flower border](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0656.jpg) Not only is the place huge, over 64,000 square feet, it also offers unique features, such as secret passages, indoor pool, bowling alley, and a tunnel to the garage. Just seemed like the building just kept going and going. ![Wood-paneled study with desk and lamp](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0820.jpg) ![Four-poster bed in an ornate bedroom](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0827.jpg) ![Dark sitting room with a curved wall of windows](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0843.jpg) ![Antique telephone set into a wall alcove](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0851.jpg) ![Curtained stone shower enclosure](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0854.jpg) ![Desk beside a semicircle of tall windows](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0862.jpg) ![Ornately carved furnishing beneath a chandelier](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0868.jpg) ![Wooden piano in a bright furnished room](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0878.jpg) ![Tall carved chair in a corner alcove](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0949.jpg) But the inside of the building was not the only thing this place had to offer. The grounds were so beautiful and well kept. The tulips were just perfectly in bloom, and the gardens were perfectly manicured. It was just fantastic to walk in, and very relaxing. ![Toronto skyline beyond a straight city avenue](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0905.jpg) ![CN Tower rises above Toronto's skyline](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0908.jpg) ![Casa Loma rooftops seen from a tower](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0920.jpg) ![Battlemented tower beside a steep red roof](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0921.jpg) ![Towers and surrounding streets viewed from above](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0922.jpg) ![Square stone tower above treetops](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0925.jpg) ![Spiral staircase inside a stone tower](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0898.jpg) ![Casa Loma roofline and crenellated tower](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0904.jpg) The second time I went, I was with some friends and we went for an escape room. This escape room was elaborate, building on the history of the building from World War II. We had to go through 3 different rooms, solving multiple puzzles to decipher all the clues allowing us to move forward. We were able to finish with just seconds to spare and found out after this room only had a 8% success rate. It was a great accomplishment. ![Wood-paneled gallery with glass-fronted bookcases](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0774.jpg) ![Polished floor and columns in a grand interior](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0778.jpg) ![Round dining table beside ornate windows](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0782.jpg) ![Rows of chairs in a bright conservatory](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0785.jpg) ![Conservatory's arched windows and tiled floor](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0787.jpg) ![White arched windows above plants and seating](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0790.jpg) ![Circular stained-glass dome viewed from below](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0795.jpg) ![Narrow wooden stairway between rough stone walls](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0813.jpg) ![Curving stone stair in a narrow passage](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0823.jpg) Hope everyone enjoys the pictures. ![Steep stairway through an iron-framed passage](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0933.jpg) ![Underground corridor with exposed pipes](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0952.jpg) ![Lit stone tunnel leading away from steps](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0954.jpg) ![Brick service building with a tall tower](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0961.jpg) ![Castle-like entrance with round brick towers](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0964.jpg) ![Long aisle between dark wooden stable stalls](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0978.jpg) ![Spring garden beds and clipped shrubs](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0984.jpg) ![Formal flower garden viewed across the lawn](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0986.jpg) ![Wooden stairway inside a historic outbuilding](https://brentajones.com/content/images/2021/08/IMG_0930.jpg) ## More to explore - [Explore the travel photography destinations](https://brentajones.com/destinations/)
