Farewell to the Furgary

Today, Gossips headed down to North Bay shortly after 3:00 p.m. to check on the progress of the demolition. There I encountered Leo Bower, advocate for the preservation of the site, who has a lifetime of memories of the shacks, and filmmaker Karl Frederick Mattson, who is working on a feature length documentary called Hudson Limits. Both were there to observe the destruction. While I was there, I took these pictures.


The shack that appears in the final picture is one of two shacks designated to be spared. It has the word "SAVE" written on it three times with orange paint.

  1. Thanks, Carole. Another preservation defeat for Hudson. Ugh. What about the heritage trees? --peter meyer
