Statue at the Library

StatueDrummondBiblioLibrary 2009PFGMissingStatueHuntleywoodP1902 1910CMmeATHendersonHere are the two statues that marked the entrance to the rose garden on the property of Sir George Drummond. This property extended North of the railway up to the northern limit of Beaconsfield, West of St. Charles Boulevard up to Westcroft Avenue. The estate was called Huntlywood by its owner. The rose garden was roughly where Evergreen Crescent is.

After standing in front of the 10 Evergreen Crescent for many years, then in the center of that crescent for a few years, the statue on the left, female representation, was restored and installed in the Beaconsfield Library in 2009 hence being protected from the weather. The statue on the right, male representation, did not survive.

For more information on the property, see 137-141 Elm Avenue.
