About Waverley

Waverly is a former mansion and current retirement home in London, Ontario, Canada. Commissioned by Charles Goodhue in 1881, the original design by the British architect Hamilton Tovey was modified by the Canadian architect George F. Durand before construction was completed in 1882. After Goodhue's death, the mansion was sold to the oil magnate Thomas Smallman in 1893; his family remained in the mansion until 1948, making several additions and moving the entrance to the north facade. The building was used by the Shute Institute until the 1980s, at which time it was converted into a retirement home and a new wing was built.
