In 1913 the Butcharts had their favorite architect, Samuel Maclure, design several significant additions to Benvenuto. One of those additions was a swimming pool on the east end of Benvenuto.

The original Samuel Maclure drawings for the Swimming Pool addition at Benvenuto still exist and are shown below:
