Professor Michael Windover\u2019s book\u00a0Casa Loma:\u00a0Millionaires, Medievalism, and Modernity in Toronto\u2019s Gilded Age<\/em>, co-edited with Matthew M. Reeve, was recently released by McGill-Queen\u2019s University Press. From the publisher:<\/p>\n

Leading architect E.J. Lennox designed Casa Loma for the flamboyant Sir Henry Pellatt and Mary, Lady Pellatt as an enormous castellated mansion that overlooked the booming metropolis of Toronto. The first scholarly book dedicated to this Canadian landmark, Casa Loma situates the famous \u201chouse on the hill\u201d within Toronto\u2019s architectural, urban, and cultural history.<\/em><\/p>\n

Casa Loma was not only an outsized home for the self-appointed \u201cLord Toronto\u201d but a statement of Canada\u2019s association with empire, an assertion of the country\u2019s British legacy. During and after the Pellatts\u2019 occupation, Casa Loma was a major landmark, and it has since infiltrated the iconography and collective memory of the metropolis. The reception of Casa Loma, variously loved and abhorred by Torontonians, reflects many of Toronto\u2019s major aspirations and anxieties about itself as a modern city. Across ten chapters, this book charts the history of Casa Loma from the purchase of the estate atop Davenport Ridge in 1903 and its construction from 1906, through to its sale and the dispersal of its contents in 1924, its subsequent life as a hotel, and finally its transformation into one of the city\u2019s major entertainment venues.<\/em><\/p>\n

Casa Loma brings to light a wealth of hitherto unpublished archival images and documentation of the house\u2019s visual and material culture, weaving together a textured account of the design, use, and life of this unique building over the course of the twentieth century.<\/em><\/p>\n
