The Pelham Embassy is the formal estate of Canadian politician Charles Daley. The estate is located in his hometown of St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. Architecture of the estate began in 1937, after Daley finished his service in World War I and raised capital from his winery to finance construction. A fire during the summer of 1976 caused severe damage to the property, including the loss of the stables and main residence. From 1976 to 2013, the property was sold to several owners but no major renovations were undertaken. Rumors began to circulate in 2010 that strange apparitions appeared on the property, including what was described as the ghost of Charles Daley. In 2012, then property owner Sam Brock reported several times that he would approach the estate at night to discover upstairs lighting switched on and windows opened. Multiple reports of paranormal activity also occurred along the main road to the estate by several neighbors. In 2014, the property was purchased by Peter Teeuwsen, with the intention of returning the estate to its former status as a focal point in Saint Catharines, along the Niagara wine route.
