1.“Lotten” Cawthra-Elliot Estate
1507 Cawthra Road
Built c1926
This elegant Cawthra-Elliot House and surrounding property, today known as the Cawthra Estate, was once home to Grace Cawthra Elliot. The house was built on an ancestral land-grant given to Joseph Cawthra in 1808. Grace was a strong-willed individual whose desire to preserve her strong family heritage led her to insist that her husband, Col. Harry McIntyre Elliot add the name Cawthra to his own. Her pride also led to the construction, in 1926, of “Cawthra Lotten Estate”, as she called it. The word “Lotten” is a reference to Lot #10 in the Toronto Township. The Georgian-styled house was designed and built by William Lyon Somerville to reflect the Cawthra’s British background. Interestingly, the bricks used in the house are from the original Cawthra family home in Toronto. The landscape architect for the Estate was Edwin Kay, who blended conservative design with the natural environment. Highlights of his design included a walled garden and a reflecting pool amid a dense thicket of trees, today known as the Cawthra Woods, an environmentally sensitive area. When Grace died in 1974, at the age of 96, she was without heirs and a will. The City of Mississauga eventually purchased the Cawthra Elliot Estate and in 1992 completed a rehabilitation of the house, which in now in use as Blyth Academy. In 1994, the City changed the name of the property to the “Cawthra Estate”.
