Description
This is Sir William Van Horne's Estate. Van Horne was appointed general manager of the Canadian project to build a transcontinental railroad from Montreal to the Pacific in 1881. It is located on Ministers Island.
Ministers Island is an enchanting place to experience. Lying just off the shore near St. Andrews, New Brunswick, Canada, this 500-acre island is only a part-time island. You reach it by driving over the seafloor during low tide, approximately 1 kilometer (1/2 mile).
Once there, you are immersed in an experience from the late 19th and early 20th century the summer estate of Sir William Van Horne.
Sir William's vast house, his equally large barn and his bathhouse / artist's hideaway are on view, as are the beautiful carriage lanes through woods and fields.
Time stands still, and you're swept up in an atmosphere that makes you forget all about your everyday life and the here-and-now. I would recommend this as a framed print.
