GLANMORE This imposing house is a fine example of the Second Empire style which was popular in Canada in the 1870s and 1880s. Local architect Thomas Hanley skillfully blended the characteristic Second Empire mansard roof and its ornate dormer windows with asymmetrical massing, a bracketed cornice and iron cresting to create an image of picturesque elegance. The profusion of ornate woodwork and decoration inside the house complement its stately exterior. Built in 1882-1883 for the wealthy banker and financier, J.P.C. Phillips, Glanmore reflects the tastes of the well-to-do in late 19th century Canada.

Français

Cette imposante demeure est un très bel exemple du style Second Empire, qui fut populaire au Canada dans les années 1870 et 1880. L'architecte local Thomas Hanley a habilement combiné les formes asymétriques, la corniche à console et la crête de fer avec le toit en mansarde doté de lucarnes ornées, si caractéristique de ce style. L'abondance des boiseries et des motifs décoratifs intérieurs complète la pittoresque élégance de la maison. Construite en 1882-1883 pour le riche banquier et financier J.P.C. Phillips, Glanmore témoigne des goûts des biens nantis de la fin du XIXe siècle.
