 Notably, the grounds at Fulford Place were designed by the Olmsted Brothers, and the recently restored formal Italianate garden is a rare and important example of a privately owned Olmsted-designed garden.The property was reduced to three of its original when George Taylor Fulford II was forced to section off prime lots of real estate to sell in order to afford the maintenance of the house.He remained proprietor of Fulford Place until his death, when he bequeathed it to the Ontario Heritage Foundation (now Ontario Heritage Trust).
