Springhill A Location For Classic Films
POSTED BY: Globe And Mail
This past week, the Globe and Mail published an article about the Springhill house, situated atop the Niagara Escarpment in Dundas, Ontario. This house and grounds served as Amelia Thomas' home in Anne of Green Gables ~A New Beginning.
Springhill Estates is privately owned, but has resisted modern changes that would compromise its historic beauty. The owner enjoys the movie shoots and has never moved out of the house to accommodate them. The production companies make some changes, but little has to be done because the woodwork is unpainted and the fixtures are appropriate to the period.
The profits are invested in keeping the landmark and its aged plaster, stone and wood in top form. The grounds are manicured and nothing is allowed to deteriorate.
