On the Matter of Dan Harmon
Because too often we are quick to forgive people who are rude, who are inconsiderate, who are unkind, by saying, "Yeah, but their show is great. Yeah, but they're pretty. Yeah, but they're good at their job." No. No. No. Enough. In Harmon's own ...

"Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind "-Once upon a time...
... there was a poor young man from Scotland named Robert Dunsmuir. In 1850, at the age of 25, he came to Vancouver Island as a contract worker to the Hudson's Bay Company where he worked in the coal mines. When his contact expired he worked for wages, managing one of their coal seams north of Nanaimo. In 1869, he discovered and acquired the rights to what became the Wellington Colliery. He formed a partnership with W. N. Diggle, with Dunsmuir handling the mining operation and Diggle, the sales. Diggle sold his share of the business to Dunsmuir in 1883 for $600,000. (at least $12,000,000. in today's dollars). At that time Dunsmuir was one of the richest men on the Pacific Coast. A condition of British Columbia's entry into the Confederation of Canada was the construction of a transcontinental rail line, but it soon became obvious that the crossing to Vancouver Island was too expensive. The rail line would end in what is now Vancouver, with the federal government subsidizing the construction of an Island railway between Esquimalt (near Victoria) and Nanaimo, which linked to the mainland by a fleet of steamers. In 1883 Dunsmuir and his partners agreed to build the railway in exchange for a subsidy of $750,000. and a land grant of approximately two million acres of land- a quarter of the total acerage of Vancouver Island. The Dunsmuirs had lived in a series of small homes in Nanaimo and Victoria, while his wife, Joan raised their ten children (8 girls). Joan was plain, sensible and an astute advisor to her husband. The story goes that Robert had promised to build Joan a castle if she would leave Scotland to come with him. Whether that or as a symbol of his wealth and power, he purchased 28 of the highest, most prominent acres in Victoria, now the provinicial capital. Warren Williams of Portland was chosen to design Dunsmuir's Scottish Baronial style castle, siting it so that it dominated the skyline of Victoria. Over 20,000 square feet and four stories, the castle would symbolioze what Robert Dunsmuir had accomplished since leaving Scotland as an indentured worker. Construction began in 1887. The architect died within 4 months of the groundbreaking, leaving the construction responsibility to a draftsman in his office. Craigdarroch cost about half a million dollars to build, with odd incompletions, such as doors that opened onto nothing. There were difficulties finding enough trained workers. With the castle still under construction, Robert Dunsmuir suddenly died in 1889. His widow, Joan, left for Scotland with their two youngest daughters and the Dunsmuir sons were left to oversee the finishing. A master gardener from Scotland and 23 workers were hired to landscape the 18 acre grounds. Meanwhile, the interior finishing was progressing and 5 railcars of hardwood finishing (windows, doors, mouldings, and panelling) were shipped from Chicago at a cost of approximately $30,000. In 1890, Joan returned from Europe and took up residence in the castle with her three unmarried daughters. Relations among the children and Joan deteriorated with Joan refusing to speak to some of them in her last years. When Joan died in 1908, the castle was left jointly to her five living daughters. The contents of the house were sold at auction in 1909. The castle and grounds were purchased and subdivided into 120 lots and offered for sale by lottery. Two acres of the original 23 remained with the castle, and in a second draw, one of the lot purchasers won the castle itself. (information from Craigdarroch by Terry Reksten, © 1987.) britishcolumbia.com/attractions/?id=45 Many people choose Craigdarroch for wedding photos and lots of movies use it as a location. "Little Women" ," "Cats & Dogs," and "Spooky House." are a few of them. See More Unkind Pictures |
