Larder Lake Station

The Tighe Brothers were among the first prospectors on the scene during the Larder Lake Gold Rush. By 1907 the brothers had staked claims, ran various businesses, and played in real estate thereby establishing the Larder City town site.

The brothers had staked two separate blocks of claims. The first were near Larder City (present day Larder Lake) on the northwest shore of the lake. These became known as the Maxwell property. The second block consisted of 24 claims situated near Pancake Lake, about one mile north of Larder City.
