The Old Brewery Bay
This property on Lake Couchiching, which Stephen Leacock purchased in 1908 and named "The Old Brewery Bay", was a source of creativity and happiness for Canada's most celebrated humorist. Here, he absorbed the impressions which inspired his masterpiece, Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town, and indulged his passions for fishing, sailing, mixed farming, and hosting family and friends. His personality and his status as a world renowned author and academic are reflected in the present residence, whose construction in 1928 recycled components of a previous cottage which stood closer to the lake.
