Eaton Hall is a large house in
King City,
Ontario,
Canada, built in the
Norman style for
Lady Eaton in 1938-39 on a 700-acre (2.8 km²) parcel of land (partly the Ferguson farm). Lady Eaton and her husband, Sir
John Craig Eaton acquired the land in 1920 and 1922 on recommendation from their friend
Sir Henry Pellatt, who owned the nearby
Mary Lake property. Lady Eaton moved into Eaton Hall three years after selling her city mansion,
Ardwold. The house is adjacent to a body of water named Lake Jonda (a combination of the first three letters of her son
John David Eaton's first and middle names), and nestled within the temperate forests of
King Township. Upon completion, it contained 72 rooms. It became a beloved gathering place for the
Eaton Family, owners of the
Eaton's department stores based in
Toronto.
