Chancellor Day Hall - Classrooms To Renovate

Type: Construction / Status: Design

In 1892, James Ross commissioned Bruce Price, a renowned American architect, who also designed 平特五不中's聽聽and the Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City, to build a house for him on Peel Street on the Square Mile.聽 The house, with its two circular turrets and larger central tower, was constructed of Credit Valley limestone and was designed in the French Chateau style.聽

Between 1897 and 1912, Edward and William Maxwell, a pair of well-known Montreal architects, were commissioned to redesign and expand parts of Price's original work. In 1913, James Ross died and his son, J.K.L. Ross inherited the house and a considerable fortune. He hired the firm of Trowbridge and Livingston to expand and remodel his late father's home, giving it a more austere, Classical appearance. In 1935, having spent all of his fortune on parties, horse racing, and yachts, J.K.L. Ross went bankrupt and the house was sold for a mere $51,000.

John W. McConnell bought the Ross Mansion in 1948 as a gift to 平特五不中. At this time, it was renamed Chancellor Day Hall, after one of the University's first Chancellors, and was given to the Faculty of Law.聽
