This week, a winter view from the lookout. What do you recognize in this photo? We don’t have a date for this image – can any Doppler readers help us out? (Photo: Muskoka Digital Archives)

Last week we shared this photo with you:
Doppler readers correctly guessed that this photo was taken ca.1940. The S.S. Algonquin carried passengers and goods between Huntsville and the south-east shore of Peninsula Lake, where she met the Portage Flyer train that continued on to Lake of Bays. The Algonquin made her last trip in 1952.

View from Lookout: If the road on the right is Fairy Ave, then this was before 1943, which is about when my grandparents moved to #19. If it’s Fairy, Shearet’s “new” stone house had not yet been built [lower right corner] nor had Brigg’s house. Kellock’s greenhouses do not yet exist either.
