SAH Archipedia — Cushing Island
[HC]High Confidence
Architectural-history synthesis of the resort era. Dates the first Ottawa House to 1862 as an Italianate summer hotel aimed at English-Canadian visitors arriving by Grand Trunk Railroad — a date that disagrees with the 1858 opening used elsewhere in this history. The disagreement is left visible.
