1959
Description
A home-from-home on the mountain — or as homely as it could be, given that everything had to be carried in by muscle power.
In this photo, Joyce Coates relaxes in the cabin she and husband George had built. The size of the kettle on the stove is huge. It would have done a good job in making tea for a party of skiers or filling a sink with hot water for washing dishes to make up for a lack of running water.
A year after this photo was taken in 1959, she and George moved to Montreal and donated the cabin to the Boy Scouts of Canada.
