Logging in the Paxton Township East of South River, Ontario
This scarce pioneer real-photo postcard shows the log cookery building at the Temagami Company’s logging camp, c. 1902-1907, which was 24 miles east of South River, Ontario in Paxton Township. Was the photographer Patrick McDermott of South River?
The Lakeview House, an Early Bear Island Hotel
One of Bear Island’s early buildings, which survived until 1973, was the Lakeview House, where the TFN (Temagami First Nation) recreation center is now located. Seen here in a c. 1920s real-photo postcard, it was a two-story substantial L-shaped residence known as “Old John Turner’s place.”
