Room history
The Raymond was one of the original large lake hotels having opened in 1887. It was located prominently above the Lake on the west side. It was built to accommodate up to 100 guests. It was named after the owner’s son, Raymond Laird (father was William). William had originally purchased a lakeside cottage to avoid permit fees for his guests use of boats on the Lake. It had one of the finest views of the Lake. It was the first of the hotels to have telephones in every room and was the closest to the golf links. The hotel burned to the ground in an uncontrollable fire on Memorial Day weekend in 1941 at the start of the summer vacation season.
