- Description
- Inscribed with “Illahee Lodge Vacation Centre for Seniors Cobourg, Ont.”, this cup features an image of the Lodge when it was used as a centre for seniors.
- Notes
- The building was built in 1878 and was the residence of William Riddell, the first individual to be granted a Bachelor of Science from the Victoria College in 1877. His wife was Anna Crossen, the daughter of James Crossen who manufactured 150 iron ore cars for the Cobourg-Peterbourgh Railway in 1867. It was later owned by the Sorias, and then the Kerr family. The Keers named it Illahee. The lodge later turned into a vacation centre for seniors, which ran until 2005. The property was then sold.
