Abstract
The photograph is of Ethelwyn Wetherald and daughter Dorothy Wetherald Rungeling and others. They are in a treehouse located on the Wetherald property in Fenwick, Ontario.
Description
The photograph is of the "house in the trees" which was built on the Wetherald property by Ethelwyn's brother Sam sometime around 1911. The treehouse known as "Camp Shelbi" was a place of inspiration for Ethelwyn's poetry. A storm in 1921 caused the tree branch to break and the treehouse was destroyed.
