: Dock at Robinson House Hotel; Photo of the Robinson House, a hotel on Big Bay Point. The hotel first came into being when Isaac Robinson, a farmer on Big Bay Point, began taking summer boarders into his farmhouse. This proved profitable enough to convert the home into a two-storey hotel. The Robinson family originally settled there 9 December 1875, and sold to Samuel Grandidge on 2 December 1896, approximately 3 years after Isaac's death. Edward Adamson eventually bought the property from Grandidge in 1898 for $3,500, but the removal of steamers from the lake proved to be the hotel's downfall. Adamson sold to William McCoomb in 1908. The photo depicts the long white two-storey building in the background with a view of the dock and path leading to the entrance of the building, with a number of people scattered across the lawn and in canoes along the shore., IHS127
