Casa Loma »
Casa Loma, meaning “house on the hill” is the former 98 room estate of Sir Henry Pellatt, who was a prominent Toronto financier, industrialist and military man. In 1911, with a huge fortune, the unabashed romantic decided to build a medieval-style castle overlooking Toronto. Sir Henry filled his castle with artwork from around the world, statues and beautiful gardens. Due to the impact on the economy during World War I, he lost his fortune and had to give up Casa Loma. Vacant for many years, Toronto seized the property and had many suggestions as to the use of the property. Finally, in 1938 Casa Loma opened as a museum and landmark.

The Niagara Falls Movie: “Legends and Daredevils“ is a great way to learn the history of the waters of Niagara.
