Whitney Manor offers a compelling opportunity to acquire a heritage property with operational continuity, architectural significance, and long-term relevance within one of Ontario’s most historically rich destinations.
The Building
Whitney Manor is a heritage limestone estate built in 1817, making it one of the oldest surviving residential structures in Kingston. Constructed during Kingston’s early development as a military and commercial centre in Upper Canada, the building reflects the scale and proportion of English country houses of the period.
Defined by hand-cut limestone, cathedral height ceilings, and original hand-hewn beams, the manor has remained closely tied to its riverside setting on the St. Lawrence River. Over more than two centuries, the property has passed through several periods of ownership, later becoming known as Sopwell Hall before taking on the Whitney Manor name in the 20th century.
Careful stewardship has preserved the building’s architectural integrity while allowing for adaptive reuse, positioning Whitney Manor as a rare example of an early 19th century heritage property that continues to support contemporary residential and hospitality use.
