This historic castle in Toronto, Ontario, built in 1914, had 98 rooms, 25 fireplaces, 30 bathrooms, three bowling alleys, a tunnel under the road to the stables, and its own telephone exchange before the owner went bankrupt in 1924. It was briefly a luxury hotel, then vacant for years until 1936 when the Kiwanis Club took it over to run as a popular tourist spot.
