CROWE RIVER AT MARMORA, 1909
This is a view looking east over what is now the Legion Park at the #7 Highway. At the rear you can locate a white triangle which is the steeple of the United Church. On the top left corner you can just make out the Royal Hotel roof line with an out-of-focus view of St. Paul's Anglican Church tower. On the right is the long roofline of 47 Forsyth Street, now the Limestone Bed and Breakfast. Note the train tracks and boathouses.
