THE FLORENCE BALLROOM is actually Casa Loma's Conservatory. This is a beautiful room, it is one of the main memories I have from being there on a school trip many years ago. This room is used for many tv series and movies. The conservatory features elaborately plastered ceilings and marble flooring with a stained glass dome (not seen here).

THE CAPPONI LIBRARY & MUSEUM IN FLORENCE was actually the ballroom of The Fairmount Royal York Hotel in Toronto, Ontario. The Royal York Hotel as it was originally called opened in 1929, after two years of construction. This chateau style building was designed by Ross & MacDonald and was the tallest building in the British Empire for a year. It was state of the art with 10 elevators going to all 28 floors, private showers and bathtubs in each of the 1,048 rooms. It cost a whopping 16 million to build at that time.

THE VERGER ESTATE IN THE PIG PEN is again Casa Loma Stables in Toronto, Ontario. This is where Hannibal had the same experience as pigs & he was naked! I believe this is the carriage room, next to the room of horse stalls. It has a hammered beamed high ceiling, decorative tile artwork and a foot thick wooden floor.

HANNIBAL & HIS MOTORCYCLE IN PARIS When we see Hannibal driving up to his destination in Paris, it is actually The Hotel Novel on The Espalande in Toronto, Ontario with some CGI trickery. The Espalande doubles as a Paris street; it is a street that runs east to west along the central waterfront of Toronto. The Espalande was originally concieved in the 1850's as a way to clean up the city's waterfront.

BEDELIA DESCENDING THE STAIRCASE AT THE CAPPONI LIBRARY AND MUSEUM is actually the lobby of the Fairmount Royal York Hotel. During renovations, meant to modernize the hotel in the early 1970's; a hole was punched in the lobby floor to add a spiral staircase. I'm a lover of spiral staircases!

THE VERGER DINING ROOM is the dining room of the Parkwood Estate in Oshawa, Ontario. Built in 1916 by the architectural firm Pearson & Darling for Canadian auto baron Samuel McLaughlin. The McLaughlin Motor Company joined forces with the new General Motors Corporation in 1918. It was the McLaughlin family home until 1972. The Parkwood Estate back exterior was also used as the exterior of the Verger Estate with some very amazing CGI added. #hannibal #hanniballocations #hanniballecter #hannibalthecannibal #hannibalobsessed #vergerestate #masonverger #joeanderson #eattherude #thisismydesign #fannibals #fannibalsfors4 #fannibalmovement #parkwoodestate

THE BACK OF THE VERGER ESTATE is the Parkwood Estate that I talked about in an earlier post. They added some CGI to make it even grander! The Parkwood Estate is in Oshawa, Ontario. For those of you who are Adam Sandler fans, the Parkwood Estate was Billy Madison's Home. The estate is open for public tours, so I may have to take a trip out there soon!

THE VERGER ESTATE STABLES are actually The Casa Loma Stables in Toronto, Ontario. The northern part of Casa Loma consists of a Hunting Lodge, Potting Shed, Greenhouses and Stables. Construction began in 1905, designed by Toronto architect E.J. Lennox. This magnificent structure was built for Sir Henry Pellat and his wife Mary; they used this in 1906 as a temporary residence while the main structure Casa Loma was being built across the street (1911-1913). A very interesting fact about the stables; they were used by the ASDIC (Anti-Submarine Detection Investigation Committee) from 1941-1945 for their invention, an early form of sonar. This sonar could detect a U-boat at a distance of 8km. They worked in secret; it wasn't until well after the war that any of this was revealed.
