Point Lookout State Park Part 3: The Destroyed Resort

A 1930s photo of the resort 

In blog #3 about Point Lookout State Park, Md we'll tell you about a once-popular resort that thrived (long after the civil war that we talked about in yesterday's blog), and has since been destroyed.

ABOUT THE RESORT- A popular bay-side resort once stood in the 1930s and served some of the elite.  

The 2 wheels that remain of the resort 

REMNANTS - All that's left of the resort today are 2 large geared wheels. 
  These wheels, one half buried, is all that remains a system that provided power in a power plant (also gone) and water (from a destroyed water treatment plant) to the former resort. 

TORN DOWN - Coastal erosion was one reason the once popular beachfront resort was torn down. 
The other reason was that the building was in poor condition after 60 years. 
  Continuing erosion on the peninsula has also swallowed up most of the land that the resort sat on.
