Many of the Châteauesque-style buildings in Canada were built for the Canadian Pacific Railway's CP Hotels chain, now part of the Fairmont Hotels and Resorts empire.
During this time many of the city's elite built new homes largely inspired by Victorian and Châteauesque architectural styles.
That building, built in 1896, is a "knowledgeable variant of the Chateauesque mansions of Richard Morris Hunt".
Fashionable at the time, these styles included Gothic Revival, Queen Anne, Romanesque Revival, and Châteauesque (sometimes called Francis I style after the French king from 1515-1547).
They built a grand chateauesque marble, granite and sandstone palace residence on Brigham Street, now South Temple.
