Bracebridge, Ontario P1L 1H4
Woodchester Villa, built in 1882 for Henry James Bird, is one of Bracebridge's oldest residences and a significant example of octagonal architecture in Ontario. Originally serving as a private home for the Bird family, it has transformed into a public museum and community center under the stewardship of the Rotary Club of Bracebridge since its acquisition in 1977.
Notable for its innovative design features, including the early use of electric lighting and a unique poured concrete construction, Woodchester Villa reflects the rich industrial and communal heritage of the area. Designated under the Ontario Heritage Act, the Villa stands as a testament to both the historical significance and architectural ingenuity of its time.
