Color Challenge Monday Red Boathouse in Bay

Hello everyone! Today is Monday so that means it is #colorchallenge #mondayred photo contest initiated by Hive account@kalemandra. This past weekend I when for a little trip to the Bruce Peninsula a beautiful area of Ontario bordered by Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. Our true destination was a small fishing village called "Stokes Bay" I was able to get some nice photographs of different subjects. One of these is old bayside boat houses which are still in use. Pictured here is a boathouse which is probably over 60 years old saying that because it is covered with red Insulbrick. They used this on many building here in Ontario prior to the 1950's.

Insulbrick is a fibreboard sheathing coated with tar and added granular material, very similar to asphalt shingles. The surface was stamped with a brick or rectangular stone pattern, dyes also would have been added to create a red or green color. Insulbrick is a brand name and was used for all types of asphalt siding.
Here is the front of the boathouse with a picture of the bay facing the Government dock. It amazes me how these boathouses which are submerged in water survive all these years.

I had a great weekend in the north county my fathers land I will be posting other neat photos in the near future.
I hope you enjoyed my #MondayRed #Colorchallenge post. Thank You for viewing.
