- Scope and Content
- Seven black and white photographs used in St. Thomas Times-Journal article published May 29, 1978 with captions:
- "The peaceful village of Port Stanley, nestled in the Kettle Creek valley around the mouth of the river and on the shores of Lake Erie, has been a popular spot for over a century. As a recreational area or just a peaceful place to live off the beaten track, Port Stanley offers a unique environment. The variety of architecture as depicted in these pictures, reflects the restful atmosphere of the village. Pictured clockwise from the upper right are, Murray and Marie Taylor standing in front of their home on Valley Street, in Erie Rest. The homes in that area are especially adapted for the steep slope on which they are built." (1a)
- "A cottage on Inverarie Heights, complete with a widow's walk is lived in and presently being restored by Gary Brown and his family." (1b)
- "The summer home of the Kernohans is complete with classic style pillars on the front verandah." (1c)
- "The Mill is what Teskey Smith calls the home he rebuilt high on the cliffs in the west end. Originally a grist mill from Selbourne, it is now used as a summer cottage for his children and grandchildren." (1d)
- "Mr. Smith plays with Kelly in front of the Cabin, located next to the Mill. In 1962, he purchased the log cabin and reassembled it as a sleeping cabin on his property. He gradually built onto it so that it is now the main home he occupies with his wife Christine. " (1e)
- "Below, a cat sleeps under a bench which adds to the decor of the outside entrance of an art studio in part of an old fashioned fish shanty." (1f)
- "And finally, the impressive gingerbread art stands out on this century old house on Main Street." (1g)
