Cottesmore Hall
Cobourg, Canada · built 1910
Cottesmore Hall was a mansion in Coubourg, Ontario. The house was completed in 1910 as a summer home for Wallace Hurtte Rowe (1861–1919), the founder and president of the Pittsburgh Steel Company. Cottesmore Hall was one of several mansions built in Cobourg by wealthy American families, who in the late 19th and early 20th centuries made the town a summer colony. Rowe hired Pittsburgh architects Rutan & Russell, who designed a Colonial Revival house clad in white stucco. The Rowe family owned the home until 1949, when the property was expropriated by the Government of Ontario for use as a home for wayward girls. The house was demolished in 1974.
