A 26 cm by 40 cm, black and white, aerial photograph of Deep River taken in 1950. This vintage photograph shows the early stages of development of the town. A copy of it is reproduced in “Memories of the Staff Hotel” (Printed 2008). It is stated there that the date of the photo is 1951. However, both that publication and several others state that the “Annex”, which was later named Maple Lodge, was built in 1951.
An enlarged portion of the photograph shows the following features: A- the Dormitories on an area later occupied by Forest Hall (JL Gray Building); B – the Dormitories at Hill House; C- the location of the tennis courts; D – the original location of the Yacht Club home and E- the wooded area where the Annex was built in 1951. A date of 1950 (or possibly even earlier) but pre-Annex construction is hence assigned to the photograph.
