Yarmouth Lakeside Inn
The Lakeside Inn was built by the DAR a mile outside of Yarmouth in 1933 on Lake Milo to provide a western anchor to the DAR hotels and accomodate passengers making connections with Yarmouth steamships. A seasonal operation, it ran from June to September.(1) It was built in a Norman Chateau style, essentially a scaled down version of the Digby Pines. The Lakeside Inn was in operation until 1960 when it was converted to a nursing home, "St. Joseph's Villa du Lac".(2)
