The 29-room Georgian estate was first built by Allan George and Walter Moorehouse in 1930. The manor is usually used for hosting elegant weddings and other events.
Hamilton, Ontario
Hamilton also serves as one of the filming locations of the Adrian Langley directorial. The production in the region was mostly limited to the Scottish Rite. Located at 4 Queen Street South, it is often used for a number of events and functions.
You can find on-site catering service at the property, outdoor function area, and wireless internet as some of the amenities. Just a few miles away from Toronto, Hamilton has greatly benefited from the influx of film and television production projects in the region.
