context_page_description: George Taylor Fulford was a Canadian businessman and politician.
context_section_description: In 1898, Fulford commissioned an estate, known as Fulford Place, to be built on the King’s Highway, on the eastern edge of Brockville.  Designed by architect A.W. Fuller from Albany, New York, Fulford Place was decorated primarily in Beaux-Arts style. It was finished in 1901, and had 35 rooms making up 20,000 square feet.  Due to Fulford's role as a politician and businessman, entertaining was one of the primary functions of Fulford Place. Features of the house include a grand hall, a dining room to seat over fifty guests, a spacious verandah, a rococo-style drawing room for the ladies and a Moorish-style smoking room for the gentlemen.
  The grounds at Fulford Place were designed by the Olmsted Brothers, and the recently restored formal Italianate garden is a rare example of a privately owned Olmsted-designed garden.
  The property was reduced to three of its original 10 acres (40,000 m²) due to a decline in the family's fortunes in the 1960s. George Taylor Fulford II remained proprietor of Fulford Place until his death, when he bequeathed the estate to the Ontario Heritage Foundation (now Ontario Heritage Trust). All of its original contents were later donated by his widow and his son, George Taylor Fulford III.  The property has since been restored, and was opened to the public as a house museum in 1993. It has been interpreted to showcase the Edwardian style of the Fulfords' time using early photographs of rooms (taken for insurance purposes) and a collection of original artifacts.  The mansion has been designated a National Historic Site of Canada.
