J. Willoughby Astley

Manager of the first Chateau Lake Louise from 1890 to 1894. In 1890, Astley named the Big Beehive and Little Beehive for their resemblance to traditional European straw beehives (skeps); part of the CPR effort to “domesticate” the wild scenery and make it relatable to wealthy tourists.
