Divine Unrest

 This is the bedroom that was used by Isabel Mackenzie King, mother of William Lyon Mackenzie King, when she would come for visits to Kingswood. It was kept much as it was after she passed away. It was the hardest loss of his life.

King sustained a number of losses early on in life that would stay with him for the remainder of his life. One sister, their brother, their father, and their mother would die, and the combination would result in a deep melancholy that he would never shake. Some wounds do not heal.

In a cabinet, some of the tableware of Kingswood.

King's own bedroom is austere, but when you consider he preferred spending his time outdoors enjoying nature, that's to be expected.

The living room doubles as a study, and would have been a centerpiece of conversation.
