October 1914 - Mr. Green's Hotel Burned Down

100 years ago,  Mr. Green's  summer hotel on Marble Point Road burned down, late on a Sunday night.  Mr. & Mrs. Green had started a fire to take the chill off the night air.  After they retired,  the kitchen was aflame.  Most of the other cottages on the lake were closed,  but word spread quickly to the village and help was soon coming.

Mr. Alphonse Shannon was passing by with his mother,  and with his help,  a large amount of furniture was saved.  The loss was partly covered by insurance.

Marmora Herald May 17, 1906 - Mr. John Green is busy every day enlarging and improving Crowe Lake Cottage. John is one of those particular kind of men who must have everything “just so” and the result is that Crowe Lake Cottage is becoming a very popular summer resort.
