Here we have the path leading to the portion of the Mackenzie King Estate named Kingswood. It is a combination for the name of the lake- Kingsmere Lake- and the childhood home of Mackenzie King- Woodside.
Another quote by the man along the path.
Kingswood has more of a cottage sensibility to it, with two main cottages and a carriage house.
This is the guest cottage. As King's career progressed and he would find himself entertaining guests, it made sense for a second place on the property. At this time of year the cottages are closed down for the season.
A look to the left shows the main house at Kingswood. In style very much like its counterparts. We'll carry on here tomorrow.
But before I go, this being Hallowe'en, I can't let the occasion go by unmentioned. Some days after this visit to the Gatineau Hills, I paid a visit to the grounds of Rideau Hall to see the fall colours. This jack o'lantern was on display.
My Hallowe'en selfies.
And this display was in the Glebe one night. I've photographed this house before. It's a bit different from last year.
The Kingswood estate is idyllic.
