| The inn was built in 1872 as an elaborate summer residence for William Byers (1840-1896), who became the first mayor of Gananoque in 1890. Designed by architect Robert Gage, (known for his work on several buildings at the Royal Military College in Kingston, Ontario), the house was named ‘Glenwood’ and described as “ …one of the few houses at the west end of the village which command a fine view of the lake. It is a large, finely built mansion, overlooking a beautifully wooded glen, through which a tiny stream trickles down to the St. Lawrence.” Even today, the fine views, the beautifully wooded glen, and the tiny stream can be seen and enjoyed from the park-like grounds of the Inn. |
