History
The Guild of All Arts, founded in 1932, began as a co-operative arts and crafts community with similarities to Roycroft in East Aurora, New York. During the Second World War, the Guild became "HMCS Bytown", a training school for the WRENS, and later served as a rehabilitation facility. Finally, it developed into a historic country inn with extensive gardens overlooking the Scarborough Bluffs. The Guild's hotel operations and expansion were guided and overseen in detail by Rosa and Spencer Clark.
