The Ontario summer home of the Duane Lyman family was the scene of a dance party for the entire summer colony at Thunder Bay.

Lyman was “the dean of Western New York architecture.” He designed the Saturn and Buffalo clubs on Delaware Avenue, the old Federal Courthouse on Niagara Square, Christ the King Chapel at Canisius College and Williamsville South High School, among others.

He died in 1966.
