The first summer cottage at Carleton beach was built. in the year 1932 by Nathan Bell on his own land. In 1938 MacCurdy Bell and his wife decided to close the overnight cottages and tea

a few years as summer cottages known as the Cliff Cottages. Mr. Bell after a few years sold one of the cottages to Fred Bell and one to J. P. Crockett. Nathan Bell in a few years time built the second one, also bought Fred Bells and J. P. Crocketts cott- age and operated them for a number of years and then sold three of them to Mrs. Bruce Davison. The next cottages on the Bell property were Capt. Wylie Irving, Capt. Herbert MacKenzie and Dr. John Downing.
