Summary[edit]

Description

This photo is one of a series of 19 photos taken in of the various outbuildings of the famous Bon Echo Inn. The Inn was destroyed by fire from a lightning strike.

Greystones was originally built as a schoolhouse in Campbell Bay on Mazinaw Lake. In 1924 it was moved to its current location to be used as a cottage. Guests who stayed there included many of the Group of Seven, Yousuf Karsh- the world famous portrait photographer then living in Ottawa, and W.O. Mitchell, the author of a number of well-known books and plays including 'Who Has Seen the Wind'.

The Greystones Cottage was retained by the Denisons after the creation of Bon Echo Provincial Park in 1959 as well as 'Cabin on the Hill' and Dollywood.

Greystones has received many renovations since the Denison years and is now a gift and book shop operated by the Friends of Bon Echo. Greystones Gift and Book Shop opened in the Dollywood Visitor Centre in 1989 and moved to its present location in 1993.
