This week’s image is a postcard depicting part of Huntsville’s tourism past. Do you know the building that’s on the far shore, or which steamship awaits passengers on the other side of the lake? (Photo courtesy of Toronto Public Library.)

Both Dave Johns and Brian Tapley agree that this was taken from the lookout. Dave adds: “We can see the original Fall Fair grounds on the left, now Fairvern off Church Street. All Saints Anglican in the center and my favourite spot, the Town swamp and dump middle right. It actually appears much better in the colored post card then it looks today.” Thanks, Dave and Brian!

    Frankly I wonder if this is Huntsville at all.

  2. Brian Tapley says:

    I go with Peter. It looks like the boat is at the exit of the canal into Pen Lake and the white building is the original Deerhurst.

  3. Peter Brown says:

    Looks like the entrance into Peninsula Lake, coming from Fairy Lake.
    And the building is the original Deerhurst?
