From a travel guide from the early 1930’s is this little trip out to Kingsville…
The write up on Kingsville is as follows:
Jack Miner, famous bird lover and naturalist, with a Wild Canadian Goose which has sought refuge at his great bird sanctuary where these birds are banded on the leg. These bands have been returned from birds, shot thousands of miles from Kingsville.

Was the building on the left with the porch later part of the Lakeshore Terrace Hotel? Great place to eat back in the 60's and early 70's.
That's what I was thinking I think I drank there a couple times way back then
Both buildings were once part of the Mettawas Inn. The building on the right was the former servants quarters. The building on the left became the Lakeshore Hotel and contained a bar, dining rooms and meeting rooms. The servants quarters were converted to guest rooms. These buildings no longer stand.
The Grovedale (now King's Landing) is beyond and obstructed by the servants quarters. I suspect it also will soon be 'history'. Good food can be had here...
