Stephen Leacock, Canada's beloved humourist spent his most creative time in what he coined as Lake Simcoe Country. The success of his Elements of Political Science and his first satirical books Literary Lapses, Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town and Arcadian Adventures of the Idle Rich allowed him to move from his family's summer house at Sibbald Point, Lake Simcoe and over time develop his own lakeside retreat at Old Brewery Bay, where Lake Simcoe and Lake Couchiching join. Here in 1928 he built Leacock House designed by Wright & Noxon, Toronto. The scale and ambience of the plans reflected Leacock's success and prestige as a world renowned author and a celebrated academic.1 The Main Floor of Leacock House features a portfolio of original signed portraits by the master photographer Yosuf Karsh, taken of Stephen Leacock at Old Brewery Bay in 1941. These internationally recognized works were commissioned by B. K. Sandwell the distinguished editor of Saturday Night magazine 1932-1951. Initial contents log book and pencil, toy car, girls hair pin, Canada pin, tape measure, Orillia map.
