Abandoned Hotel at Lake Manitou
We came across this abandoned and flooded building at Manitou Lake, Saskatchewan, about an hour and a half south east of Saskatoon. Manitou Lake is a terminal lake and extremely salty. This building started life in 1923 as the "Martin's Tourist Hotel". In1962 the Wardley Brine Shrimp Co. converted it into a shrimp packing factory which it operated for a number of years. It has long been abandoned but was kept in relatively good nick with a coat of paint every now and then. The recent flooding at the lake has caused the water level to rise to the point that it is effecting the structure of the building and I doubt if it will last much longer.
