Country Living

 Here we have a view towards the main cottage at Kingswood.


And down the slope. At the bottom is the lake, whose name drew King here in the first place. Kingsmere Lake and the nearby King Mountain pre-dated his time here, but it must have felt to him to be a sign that he belonged here.


I stepped away from the guest cottage.


And here we have the main cottage, built in stages.


A glimpse through the trees down the slope gives a hint of Kingsmere Lake.


Directly inside the main entrance is this old woodstove.


The larger kitchen was one of the additions. King would have staff from his home in the city accompany him from Ottawa when he would be here full time in the summers.

  4. There’s such a calm feeling in these photos, William. The place looks full of quiet history — and a kind of peace that’s hard to find these days. Thank you for sharing it.
