Original Toronto Star caption: A unique hotel, operated by students learning the service trades, occupies the Norman chateau-style mansion built in the late 1930s as a retirement home for Sir John and Flora Eaton of the department store empire. Colin Mummery and Nancy Morgan enjoy spring outside the house, which Lady Eaton wanted to be ample enough for any and all family gatherings in future years, as she wrote. There are 700-acres.
