An eerie place blocked off, a place you can’t physically step inside but observe, the Peter Grant Mansion is truly frozen in time.
Peter Grant Junior, the 87th richest Canadian and a highly successful businessman, created Grant Forest Production, a Canadian forest company. After accumulating much wealth from the production company in 2004, Grant decided to start the construction of Canada’s largest mansion at 65,000 square feet. The mansion was meant to look over the beautiful view of Lake Temiskaming and have two elevators, a giant hot tub, and 30-foot fireplaces. However, in 2008 when the Canadian recession hit and the American housing market came crashing down, the mansion’s construction was abandoned in 2008. Since then, the estate has sat at the shores of Lake Temiskaming, occasionally appearing on housing lists for 25 million dollars.
There are a lot of online pictures to see the inside of the mansion, but the mansion is a sight to behold when waking the shores of Lake Temiskaming.

This is an interesting tale of Canadian past, this house in an obvious story that needs to be finished, I have built and renovated for over 50 years. I would love to finish this one, it is so similar to how I think to build and fix.
