Souvenir PlateContext
The porcelain souvenir plate is from Pickwick Cabins, Wasaga Beach, Ontario. Pickwick Cabins were one of the first cottage courts on the beachfront and were located at the bottom of 32nd Street North on the beach where Beach Area 5 is now located. Pickwick Cabins was established in 1929 by Mr. & Mrs. Cauthers. The family resort had eight cabins, a dining hall and "Pickwick Playhouse", a cabin for guests to gather at if it rained. More cabins were added as the business grew. Along with accommodations, Pickwick Cabins also offered breakfast, lunch and dinner daily.Acquisition
