Originally built as a private mansion, today Stewart Hall houses a cultural centre, a reading and reference room, an art gallery, and a community centre.
The Fathers of Sainte-Croix acquired the mansion in 1940, and continued to operate the farm on the surrounding land.
In 1958, the Fathers of Sainte-Croix sold the land to a real estate developer who had planned to build a high-rise apartment building on the site. The land was soon after purchased by Walter and May Stewart, who donated it to the city of Pointe-Claire in exchange for $1.[2]
The city of Pointe-Claire turned the building into a cultural centre, which was inaugurated on February 16, 1963.[2]
Architectureedit
The exterior walls of the house are made from locally sourced limestone blocks.[2] The building's design is symmetrical, and consists of thirty five rooms.[2] A large veranda overlooks Lake Saint Louis.[2]
