Also, Eero always gave Milton Goeltz most of the credit because he was the Master Builder/ Carpenter and without him, Eero said the building would not have been able to be built. So, you should credit Mr. Goeltz as well. He was a local builder from the town and brilliant at solving problems that the architect and client presented.

The Millers have been in Muskoka since 1876, not 1886. Also, the building could not be less industrial because the materials are mostly native: the original bass wood was taken from two trees logged from the property; there wasn’t any steel at all in the old building (the current building dept required it upon rebuilding); and all rooms open out into the air- another feature of the old, but true muskoka cottages.

This cottage burned to the ground a few years back, and was rebuilt in its own image to preserve its history.
