The daughter of Casa Roma Castle is missing.

Casa Rome is undoubtedly beautiful and amazing, but the most impressive thing is not these, but the dramatic ups and downs about the life of the castle owner. Mr. and Mrs. Henry are charitable. Henry funded the Queen's Infantry Corps, the Victoria Nurses Corps and the Catholic Church in Toronto. His wife, Mary, became the first commander of the Boy Scouts of Canada, and was awarded the highest honor, the Silver Fish Medal, by the Boy Scouts of Casa Rome in 19 19. Sir Henry and his beautiful wife spent the best time of their lives in the castle.

After Sir Henry and his beautiful wife enjoyed a luxurious life in the castle for more than ten years, with the outbreak of World War I, Sir Henry's economic empire fell into a state of collapse in an instant: 19 19, the power supply in Toronto was nationalized, and he lost the exclusive power supply right; Later, many real estates he invested in depreciated because of the war, and the post-war economic recession made his stocks as worthless as bubbles; Worst of all, the bank that guaranteed his loan in 1923 declared bankruptcy, and his loan amount was1700,000 dollars, equivalent to 20 million dollars today! Huge debts forced Henry, who was in trouble, to sell his family fortune.

1923, in order not to lose his title because of bankruptcy, Sir Henry agreed to let the bank control all the profits of his enterprise, and he was unable to maintain Casa Rome. At that time, the annual local tax in Casa Rome was equivalent to today's $654.38+0.5 million! 1June, 924, the antiques and artworks of Casa Rome were auctioned in public without any restrictions or protection. After five days of crazy bidding, the amazing wealth in the castle was lost like mercury. It is said that even people from new york came to join in the fun, but at this auction, which is called "the auction of the century", a bronze statue of bison worth $65,438 +0.500 was sold for only $50. The auction * * * won 6.5438+0.4 million yuan, less than one tenth of the investment Henry has made for these artworks for many years. Henry's money kingdom collapsed, and the words of European masons became prophecies at the beginning of the construction of Casa Rome.

It is hard to imagine Sir Henry's loneliness at that time. It is said that it was "the saddest day of his life". 1924 At the end of summer, Sir Henry's family left Casa Rome, which was built by their own efforts. A year later, his wife died in a five-bedroom apartment. Later, Casa Roma was converted into hotels and nightclubs, but it was difficult to cope with huge property taxes. 1937 Tongji will rent it out and develop it into a tourist attraction, and the castle will be opened as a place for public sightseeing. According to legend, Henry once visited the castle at 1938, which was warmly welcomed by tourists. He said to people: "This arrangement is very good now!" This return visit is Henry's farewell to Casa Rome. 1939 On March 9th, Sir Henry died in a small apartment. It is said that only his old driver accompanied him to the end of his life, and he only had poor 185 dollars in cash and 6,000 yuan in debt. At Sir Henry's funeral, thousands of Toronto citizens took to the streets to see off the "father of Toronto power".

Because of its unique architecture, Casa Rome has become the shooting place of many movies. Famous films such as the Oscar-winning film Chicago were shot here. In the corridor next to the underground wine cellar, there are many movie posters that have been shot here. From this point, it is enough to explain how attractive Casa Rome is.
