Several Doppler readers came close to guessing the date of this photo of the steamship Algonquin on the Muskoka River. Some even supplied some details on the surrounding landscape. Read the comments below and then scroll down to see the inscription on the back of the photo.
This photo is pre-1930 as the Fall Fair building is still up located top left, now Fairvern, Look Out mountain top right. Photo is facing east and taken from the west side of Brunel Rd. On the left side of the Algonquin steamship is Hinton’s Garage and Marina who once had a car dealership and made and repaired boats. The house on the right is still located at the corner of Brunel and road that goes down to High School and Arena. ~Dave Johns
Hi All … I think Dave is real close with the date. Our 25 High Street was a new edition way after that. I’m just guessing but I would say around 1934-36. High was built 1939 November and there were about 5 properties on the go just before the war. Neat, eh ? (P.S. – we are not original owners – 3rd) ~Larry Smith
According to the back of the photo, this image of the steamship Algonquin was taken in 1944
