A Place Of Peace And Quiet

 More today inside the main cottage at Kingswood on the Mackenzie King Estate.


This is the living room, complete with a desk and plenty of books to be found.


I always appreciate a good fireplace. This room would have been the social centre on the estate in the early years.


Mackenzie King's own bedroom is simple but fitting, adjacent to the main entrance of the cottage.


I stepped back outside.


This looks back towards the guest cottage and the carriage house.


The lake, downslope from here, was one of the elements that drew Mackenzie King to make a home here. We'll go down there tomorrow.

  6. I imagine the open beam ceiling was just for the cottage.
