context_page_description: Elmcroft is a 19th-century house in Smiths Falls, Ontario, Canada, built in 1895 by the town's mayor, Francis Theodore Frost, who also served as director of the local Frost & Wood foundry, as a Member of Parliament and as a senator. It is an example of Queen Anne Revival architecture.
context_section_description: The property initially ran to Elmsley Street, but a later owner sold off the property's southwest lawn, on which three other homes were subsequently built, and Chambers Street was built through the old property, obstructing the view of Elmcroft from passersby. In 1987, owner Bill Murphy stirred controversy by announcing his plans to build 10 garden homes at the foot of the property.
