When Paul Malo created Thousand Islands Life Magazine in 2007 he created a history page. In December 2008, when TI Life was reformatted, we created this new History section. In the future, we will continue to post new historical material. However, for those looking for the photographs posted on the original page, we have re-posted them here: Click Photograph to Enlarge |  | | Ina Island, from an early stereographic photograph. |  | | First Rock Island Lighthouse, sketched by Benson J. Lossing in 1858. 1868 engraving courtesy Rock Island Lighthouse Historical and Memorial Association |  | | Sunnyside, residence of Rev. George Rockwell, head of Cherry Island, c. 1880 |  | | American Canoe Association encampment held on Grindstone Island in 1885, courtesy Corbin's River Heritage |  | | Native American basketmakers' encampment, from a stereographic photograph courtesy Janet Greene, Thousand Island Park. |  | | "Anthony Point" [Pt. Marguerite, now Pine Tree Point] from a stereographic photograph, probably by E. & H.T. Anthony |  | | Westminster Park Hotel, from a stereographic photograph courtesy Janet Greene, Thousand Island Park. |  | | Thousand Island Park shop, from a stereographic photograph courtesy Janet Greene, Thousand Island Park. |  | | Thousand Islands House, Alexandria Bay, from a stereographic photograph by James Esson, Preston, Ont. |  | | Cape Vincent gents. Photograph courtesy of Phyllis Gardner, Occident Island. |  | | Frederick Island, Fishers Landing. Photograph courtesy of Phyllis Gardner, Occident Island. |  | | Judge Spencer's Residence, Manhattan Island, Alexandria Bay. Photograph courtesy Jay Stewart, Manhattan Island. |  | | Hart House, Hart Island, from a stereoscopic view. This probably is what George and Louise Boldt found when they first visited Hart Island. Like Boldt, the gentlemen seated on the rock has a beard. Boldt never was so stout, however, so this probably is Congressman E. Kirk Hart. The rare photo is of exceptional interest as perhaps the only view of the original house at close range. Hart House was moved to Wellesley Island where it serves as a fine inn. Paul Malo tells the story in his book, Boldt Castle: In Search of the Lost Story. |  | | Calumet Castle under construction, Clayton, 1893. Photograph courtesy of Skip Rawson, Calumet Island. |  | | Yacht Nina passing Jewel Island, from a postcard. Charles Emery of Calumet Island, acquired Nina (Irene), one of many Herreshoff-built yachts on the river, before 1897. The flamboyant patent medicine manufacturer, Rochester's H.H. Warner, built "Stoney Crest" on Jewel Island near Alexandria Bay in 1888. The landmark was demolished in order to widen the main channel for the St. Lawrence Seaway. |  | | St. Lawrence at Frontenac, c. 1909, from a larger panoramic photograph. |
