A new 15 in (381 mm) railway, named the Eaton Park Railway was opened in 1994. The railway opened in 1896. Eaton Hall is a large house in King City, Ontario, Canada, built in the Norman style for Lady Eaton in 1938-39 on a 700-acre (2.8 km²) parcel of land (partly the Ferguson farm). Lady Eaton and her husband, Sir John Craig Eaton acquired the land in 1920 and 1922 on recommendation from their friend Sir Henry Pellatt, who owned the nearby Mary Lake property. The house, never comfortable as a family home, was badly damaged by army use during the Second World War. The countryside around the Hall, and several of the neighbouring villages, has a strong and consistent identity afforded by the very large number of late C19 and early C20 estate buildings. Straight rides or avenues run across it. A map of 1738 shows it bounded, as later, by Belgrave Avenue to the north and by the formal grounds around the Hall to the east. Eaton Hall is a private residence and is not open to the public, but the gardens are open three days each year to raise money for charity.

Those gardens are shown in detailed views by Kip & Knyff (1712-14) and by Badeslade and Thom (1758), and on a plan of 1798. Against the outside of the east wall of the garden is a large covered tennis court. Further remodelling took place under the third marquess, who inherited in 1869 and was made Duke of Westminster in 1874. By 1820 these had been replaced by a terrace with a balustraded wall and flower beds overlooking a lawn. Day-to-day traffic in the 1990s approaches the Eaton complex via the Eccleston drive from the north, past Eccleston Lodge and gates (both listed grade II), both of 1894 by Douglas & Fordham, and over a balustraded causeway (listed grade II) of c 1875 immediately to its south. Eaton remains (1997) in private hands.

A yet more extensive campaign of rebuilding followed the succession of the third Marquess in 1869, Alfred Waterhouse being brought in to completely transform the house between 1870 and 1882. A cricket ground 400m north-west of the Hall was however retained. On the north side of the Hall are the Chapel (listed grade I) of 1873-4 with its six-stage clock tower, the Stables and Coach House courts and the Riding School (elements listed grade II and II*), similarly of the early 1870s. The garden of the 1990s was but the latest of a long series before the east front. It had a branch to the estate brickworks at Cuckoo's Nest, Pulford. In the centre of the south side are iron gates (listed grade II) of c 1896 attributed to Gertrude Jekyll.

Eaton Hall has an 18th and 19th-century landscape park which at its most extensive was around 500 hectares, within an estate of about 4400 hectares. On its north side, and overlooking it, is the cruciform wooden Tea House (listed grade II) of 1872 by John Douglas. Elements of this survive. The wagon 'tops' were removable to allow them to be used as flats, and bolster fittings were supplied to carry long items such as timber. The principal garden, in four main compartments, two either side of an axial east/west canal (retaining walls listed grade II), lies east of the terrace which runs around the east and south sides of the Hall.
