Photo of Heather Gail and Robert James Cheesman, children of Albert and Betty (née Bowman) Cheesman, standing in front of the Meadowbrook tourist cabins. Located on south half of lot 11, concession 14 of Innisfil (now Barrie), Albert Cheesman built a storey-and-a-half building with a walk out basement, living quarters upstairs, restaurant and variety store on the main level, Supertest gas bar, and cabins to rent out to travelers. About 100 feet off of highway 11/Yonge Street he built a row of three smaller cabins along the north fence line and one large duplex cabin along the west fence line. The establishment was named Meadowbrook, and the Cheesmans lived there - along with a pony and some chickens - until the business and property were sold in 1952 to Leonard Kearns. The view of this photo is pointing west and shows the duplex cabin directly behind, as well as two single cabins to the right. Photo credit to Bob Cheesman.
