Alton Bay Pavilion

Highlander · 03-24-2007, 07:07 PM

Driving thru the bay today it looks like they have excavated and poured a new foundation at the sight. Does anyone know what they are going to build ? It looks like they are going to make it walk out lower level to the lake. I heard they were trying to construct a 2 story building there.

The foundation went up in the last 2 weeks. Sure looks bigger (?) than the old building and I'm guessing there's basements where there weren't before. Don't know if it's going to be taller.

I have noticed all the work going on down there for the past several weeks, but haven't had time to stop and see just what was going on. It appears that the town has allowed them to put all the excavated materails in the parking area. Am I seeing right???

Actually, in the old building there was enough room to run a Bobcat down there, at least I was told they did.

And the town allowed the contractor to put the fill in the parking lot for now, but there was a time limit (3 months for completion of the dirt thing, i think.).

If you don't think the dirt is a problem in a public lot, stop in and talk to the owners of the Old Alton Bay diner.

Here are two photos I shot today of the new pavilion's foundation.

Just saw this on e-bay. Pavilion memorabilia. Anyone got an extra $850 or so?
HERE'S the LINK
(It will only last a few days)

While I'm at it....Let me add one of fpartri497"s photos to this thread to show the ongoing construction

fpartri497 · 04-29-2007, 07:04 PM

drove by the new construction of the pavillion today, and they are allmost finished framing the first floor. Wow they are moving quickly.

Mickomally · 04-29-2007, 07:29 PM

I'm glad to see progress being made.
I feel this is good for the owner, and the town to not let things wallow after the fire.
I wish them dry weather for a fast build!

Merrymeeting · 04-29-2007, 09:18 PM

Looking at the water level in the photo, not sure I'd want to have one of those basements, no matter what the price!

TomC · 04-30-2007, 03:20 AM

hard to reconcile that photo and the proposed legislation prohibiting the removal of any vegetation within 50 ft of shore...

Are these residential or commercial condos?

Its been so long that I forgot the original proposal (and the one I believe was approved) was for seven condominium units with a retail shop or two in the front of the building facing the parking lot. Just was never much talk about the commercial units. There are 2 of the residential units in MLS, one for $549,000 and the other for 699,000 (ouch)
