LANGARA ROOM

Dimensions

34’ x 18’ (mantle 10’10” x 7”)

A spacious room paneled in rare Australian walnut, with glass-fronted bookcases and original leaded glass, the Langara Room is open to a second floor Minstrels’ Gallery, the carving of which took a master craftsman a year to complete. The carving depicts the oak leaves of England (from which the house’s original owner originated), the maple leaf of Canada, and the interlaced Knots of Brotherhood: the insignia of the Arts and Craft movement on which many of the architectural features of the house, both inside and out, are based. There is a working gas log fireplace in the room.

Located between the Yorkeen and Kanakla reception rooms, this is a perfect space for guests to mingle, or can be used to extend seating from the Yorkeen room for larger events.
