The original cabin on the Bartlett Lodge
property, the Doctors cabin; built by Dr. William Bell, one of the
first leaseholders in Algonquin Park!
The cabin, built in 1898, is one of the oldest buildings in the
Park and is the original building at Bartlett Lodge: lovingly restored
in 2002, Deil Ma Care is now our showpiece 3 bedroom cottage.
The restoration included saving original boards from the cabin
and re-installing them as wainscoting and keeping the original plank
floor boards where possible.
A new
addition to the building has pine flooring milled from logs cut
over
100 years ago by J.R. Booth. The
logs were taken from the bottom of
the Ottawa River and may well have been cut in Algonquin Park.
Deil Ma Care, a piece of Algonquins history!! |
