The name Lantern Hill derived from a book. The lady who owned this house some 60 odd years ago read the book, loved the story and the name and called her home Lantern Hill...and so it has been known through all the years.
The story went...
For as long as she could remember, Jane Stuart and her mother lived with her grandmother in a dreary mansion in Toronto. Jane always believed her father was dead -- until she accidentally learned he was alive and well and living on Prince Edward Island. When Jane spends the summer at his cottage on Lantern Hill, doing all the wonderful things Grandmother deems unladylike, she dares to dream that there could be such a house back in Toronto... a house where she, Mother, and Father could live together without Grandmother directing their lives -- a house that could be called home.
Original title: Jane of Lantern Hill
