Stewart Hall (originally ''Mull Hall'') is a cultural centre and art gallery in Pointe-Claire, Quebec, Canada. Originally built as a private mansion, today Stewart Hall houses a cultural centre, a reading and reference room, an art gallery, and a community centre. ==History== Mull Hall was constructed for Charles Wesley MacLean in 1915-16 by architect Robert Findlay.〔 The house was named for the Isle of Mull, which was home of the Clan MacLean in the Scottish Highlands.〔 The Fathers of Sainte-Croix acquired the mansion in 1940, and continued to operate the farm on the surrounding land. In 1958, the Fathers of Sainte-Croix sold the land to a real estate developer who had planned to build a high-rise apartment building on the site. The land was soon after purchased by Walter and Beatrice Stewart, who donated it to the city of Pointe-Claire in exchange for $1.〔 The city of Pointe-Claire turned the building into a cultural centre, which was inaugurated on February 16, 1963.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stewart Hall (Pointe-Claire)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
