520 _a"The Manor House of Lacolle" by W. D. Lighthall is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This book explores the history and description of the Manor House located in Lacolle, Quebec, detailing its architecture, the influential families associated with it, and the socio-political context of the region over time. Through this narrative, it captures the historical significance of the estate and its occupants, particularly focusing on the lives and legacies of prominent figures linked to the property. The narrative begins with a vivid description of the Manor House's setting and its colonial architectural features, including the lush landscapes and heritage elements that characterize it. It delves into the life of Mrs. Henry Hoyle, the house's builder, detailing her inheritance and the ensuing family conflicts following her husband's actions. Lighthall narrates a rich tapestry of family history and local politics, including the relationship of the Hoyles and the Schuyler family, along with significant events such as the War of 1812 and the impact on their fortunes. The charming depiction of furnishings and artifacts collected over the centuries adds depth to the story, revealing the cultural and historical treasures housed within the manor. Overall, it serves as both a tribute to a bygone era and an exploration of the intertwining of family legacies with the historical fabric of the Lacolle region.
