THE TIMiS, COBOURG ONT ARlO, THURSDAY MAY 1,1952 COBOURG - THEN AND NOW

THEN! The Arlington was torn down around 1938 according to Jack Burnet. But the above pictures go back to 10\lg before the turn of the cenll.lrY when mutton chop whiskers were the vogue and bustle skirts rustled along the veranda to the lake front. As most people recall the Arlington now- a-days, there wa s no railing around it. The sidewalks in the above picture ar e planks and the gas lights which werc in gale use till die 1890 's are also shown. The great and the near great fr om all over United Stales and Canada stayed at the .(I. rlington which was the finest resort hotel in Canada, according to legend. At , the right-hand corner of the pictuc t' is sh6vYTI the presenrChateau hotel and between it ana the old Ar-lington is tli e little fra me house which still stands. Instead of parking meters. ~otic e the hitching posts.
