Langdon Hall is a large summer estate built between 1898 and 1902 by Eugene Langdon Wilks and his wife Pauline. Eugene was the son of Mathew Wilks and Eliza Astor Langdon, who owned the neighbouring estate, Cruickston Park. Langdon and Pauline hired an architect to draw up plans for their new residence. Langdon Hall was designed along the lines of summer homes south of the border, employing the Federal Revival style that was de rigueur during the 1890’s. Intended mostly for summer use, the house was a spacious thirty-two rooms, totalling more than 25,000 square feet. Construction was finished by 1902. The house was unquestionably American in taste, reflecting the ongoing social and business links between the Wilks and American society, as they were related to the famed John Jacob Astor. Langdon Hall remained in the Wilks family until 1981. In 1989, it was purchased by William Bennett and Mary Beaton, and turned into a luxury Country House Hotel. It continues to this day as one of the top hotels and restaurants in Canada.
