Mount Holly

Mount Holly was the large and spacious home of Philippa Gordon and her family, located in Bolingbroke, Nova Scotia.

Description
Philippa Gordon, a supposed only child, lived at Mount Holly during the first eighteen (approx.) years of her life. Mr. and Mrs. Gordon, wealthy "Bluenoses," allowed her to hold many parties. At these parties the house literally "overflowed" with Phil's friends and beaux.

Physical Appearance
Mount Holly was said to be very large, and as it was the home of a wealthy "Bluenose" family, it was probably furnished very lavishly and with good taste.

Age
The age of Mount Holly is unknown.

Involvement in the Anne series
Mount Holly does not play an important part in the Anne series. However, Anne Shirley did visit the home via the request of her chum, Philippa Gordon. She enjoyed the fortnight there spent during summer vacation in Anne of the Island.
