The History of Fern Resort ~ 1905 to 1915

 
The Ball in Motion (continued)
The year 1906 brought the addition of the first Guest House, built by Mr. McBain after a few successful years of business. The three storey building containing twenty-one rooms (with no bathrooms or electricity) showed Mr. McBain to be a great craftsman indeed. The building stood until 1985 when tradition had to give way to practicality and upgrading and the Guest House, or "Mariposa Inn" as it was known at the end, was torn down.
