Here’s what we know about this photo, taken by Annabelle Studio, courtesy of Muskoka Digital Archives:

The photo was likely taken between 1931 and 1952.

J.R. Boyd and Son moved to 90 Main St. E. in 1917. The Huntsville Planing Mills Ltd. was purchased by Allen White in 1931 after which the buildings in the picture were erected. The S.S. Algonquin made her last trip in 1952. The original wharf on the waterfront was built in 1904. The 100-foot extension to the east including the structure at the end was finished in 1911.
