Maison Ravenscrag
Montreal, Canada
Maison Ravenscrag is a historic mansion located in Montreal, Canada, built between 1861 and 1863 in the Italianate Victorian style for Sir Hugh Allan, one of Canada's wealthiest men.
Known for its grand size with 34 rooms, a 75-foot tower, and luxurious features like a ballroom and a 98-foot conservatory, it was a symbol of high society and prestige in Montreal's Golden Square Mile.
The house was decorated by notable artists and craftsmen of the era and offered stunning views over the city and surrounding mountains. After the Allan family donated it to the Royal Victoria Hospital in 1940, the mansion was converted to serve as the Allan Memorial Institute, a psychiatric hospital affiliated with McGill University.
Though much of the original interior has been lost, Ravenscrag remains a prominent architectural and historical landmark, recognized as part of Montreal's heritage.
