French Style in Mississauga



This is a screen capture of 1470 Mississauga Road, in Lorne Park, Mississauga, a beautiful combination of pale yellow walls and light blue window shutters. It is shielded by wrought iron gates.

This website (with more photos) describes it as:
French Chateau / Farmhouse, reminiscent of holidays in Bordeaux.

Currently: Off market.
A little of southern France, wine country, transported to the Mississauga Valley.

More about Lorne Park, here. A good Wikipedia article, which describes older Mississauga villages, and a generalized history of Mississauga.

From the article:
Even though Lorne Park was absorbed into Mississauga, it remained a distinct neighborhood that retains ties to its pioneer origins.
This building is a new development, but the Lorne Park neighborhood has some of the oldest mansions, and houses, of Mississauga.

More on the historic estates in Lorne Park here and here.
