This was proven out Inat week when we ran this picture of the old Lake Lodge sachool. It had a lot of old timera guessing and we even had two oldsters, who should have known better, make the statement that thfiu bulldlnr never existed in this district, ‘Their memories were \:luylnx tricks on them. This was the old Lake Lodge school, a private achool for hn“; which was situated on the Inkeshore on what is now the fruit farm of Ceell M, Ronham. This property was the old Samuel Nelles farm and homestead, The late W, J, Drope, B.A., of Peterboro, a .D:rh achool tencher married Miss Lily Nelles and he came to Grimsby and opened the school in 1896 and it prospered until his death shortly after the first war, The large, main portion of the building showing on the left was the old original Nelles home and it was construsted in 1810â€"12. It was constructed of handâ€"made, sun dried brick and the timbers were all hand hewn. After the death of Mr, Drope the school gradually went to pleces and fAnally was closed, ‘The building was razed about 10 years ago. Leslie M.
