The original photograph is labelled "Bee- Hive Restaurant". The location on the map is labeled "Bee-Hive Shop". A small sign visible beside the larger "Bee-Hive" sign on the building reads: "Make a Wish Tea Room", Cup Reading". The photos contained in the Garvey collection were photographed and developed by Frank Garvey, Maple Leaf Film Service. Frank arrived in Wasaga Beach in 1929 and opened his photography business operating from two tents on the beachfront. In 2000, the collection was donated to the Archives by Judy Garvey.
