Anna Holt Wheeler and Guests on the Porch at the Ark Cottage
| A small group is gathered on the porch of the Ark cottage in the daytime. Looking at the camera, a young woman, possibly Rose or Agnes Wilson, is sitting in a rocking chair. Sitting on the fringed hammock, Anna Holt Wheeler is doing some handicraft. By the table, Lillian Wheeler and a woman, possibly Rose or Agnes Wilson, are reading a book together. Caption reads: "Rose and Agnes Wilson at the Ark." |

| The Wheeler frame house on the Island at Archibald Lake was commissioned by Anna Holt Wheeler, the sister of W.A. Holt. This house was known as the Ark.
