Discover Canada's largest abandoned mansion
The beginning of a dream
Undone by the financial crisis
Sprawling grounds
A multi-millionaire's fall from grace
Discarded and empty
A shell of what it could have been
An abandoned, unused fireplace
Discarded furniture
A winding, graffitied corridor
Nature is reclaiming the property
Unfinished floors
Discarded building materials
Do not enter
Unfinished business
The swimming pool
A grand staircase
Heading upstairs
Hazardous spaces
Dirt and debris
The upper level
Spiralling repair costs
An impressive spot
Evidence of life
A playground for the rich
Heading outside
Dried up
Plenty of potential
A new future
Visionary dreamer
Pitching a TV show
A gigantic project
Extensive damage
Uncertain future

Discover Canada's largest abandoned mansion

Once set to be the largest mansion in Canada, this huge home has been left to rot for decades. Dubbed the Peter Grant Mansion, the property was to be filled to the brim with luxurious features, including a waterfall, small golf course, two swimming pools, an indoor boat garage, squash court and an observation lighthouse.

But today, all that remains is an empty shell left open to the elements. Via images captured by urban explorer Freaktography, we examine the fascinating history of this abandoned building and discover how a promising update could see this remarkable home finally finished.
