Description
The brightly pigmented blockhouses and storehouse look almost comical to us today, but eh colour scheme is historically accurate, and reminded folks of the age that these structures were built for business. Bois Blanc Island in the background hosted up to 10,000 First Nations refugees just before the British defeat at the Battle of Lake Erie.
