The main lodge was built in 1928. It has now been destroyed by fire. I have been told that the fire started in the kitchen in the middle of the afternoon and that by three thirty the main building was engulfed by fire with flames reaching well up into the sky. Our friends sent a picture taken from their deck which quickly spread around the Internet.
The fire was confined to the main lodge which housed the reception, the restaurant, the swimming pool and meeting rooms along with the bar and decks. The old walls were hung with pictures of the olden days of the lodge, with huge tuna hanging beside beaming fishermen. The two massive fireplaces were original to the old lodge and were lovely spots to read by the roaring fire. Now it is all gone. Fortunately, all the other building were saved.
I look forward to hearing what will happen next with White Point Resort. It is owned by a group of people not one sole owner, which always makes decision making difficult. I for one, hope they had excellent insurance and that the owners re-build as quickly as possible. Queens County, where we live in Nova Scotia, needs White Point Resort.
