About Us
Our History
Gifted to the daughter of the family who lived on the property, Miss Victoria Jane Wilson, Louis lived a long and lavish life, outliving his owner, and passing in 1985 at 115 years of age. Upon Miss Wilson’s death, it was discovered that she had left an unusual bequest in her will – a substantial sum for the care of her birds, including Louis, and a condition that the property could not be developed so long as the birds were alive.
Although a solution was eventually reached, allowing for the development of Chateau Victoria Hotel & Suites, the restaurant would, for a time, become known as “The Parrot House,” in honour of Louis and his pampered lifestyle.
