POND'S LODGE

After the original Tud Kent dance hall burned down, during the 1927-28 winter, the Ponds began new developments. Such improvements included an extensive dance hall, with an enormous fireplace, and a lounge, which nestled itself between the store and the dance hall. On July 24, 1935, tragedy seized the Pond family when a fire claimed the entire structure, leaving only the prodigious fireplace standing. Reconstruction began in May of 1936 on a new facility, which is the structure still standing today, flourishing in operation.
