Summary edit

Description
English: One of the very best images of the Bon Echo Inn. This image was taken looking southeast from Sawmill Bay. Notice the water tower on the far right.

The Inn was designed by Cleveland architect Charles E. Tousley for Dr. Weston Price. All materials were brought to the Inn site along the rough Addington Colonization Road. Labour was plentiful and inexpensive for Dr. Price. Unskilled workers were paid $1/day and skilled carpenters $1.50/day. The Inn was started around 1899.

By 1901 a number of buildings had been completed including the 3-storey hotel, 5 cottages, staff house, tent platforms, service buildings, a boat house, a 9 metre water tower and two large docks (one on each side of the narrows). A windmill was used for power. Sadly, the Inn burned down following a lighting storm in 1936.
