Description

This image is one in a series of postcards from the Reg Near collection. This image features Westover Manor around the early 20th century. The house has maintained many of its original features including the ginger breading along the roof peeks.

Westover Park was built in 1867 for William and Joseph Hutton - early settlers of St. Marys.
The home has had many different uses over the years including a Catholic seminary, a commune and is now a luxury hotel catering especially to Stratford Festival Theatre patrons.
