Pavilion updates?

abay · 02-08-2007, 03:43 PM

Does anyone have any updates on recent progress (or lack of such) or future plans for development of the Alton Bay Pavilion project? Haven't heard anything since the fire.

I dorve through Alton Bay this Tuesday and the pavilion is fenced in with no progress at all visible. It is just a burnt-out and frozen mess right now.

I do not see how they can get anything ready for sale until 2008, at the earliest.

This may be a prime spot for a roller rink!

I think they've been doing some work inside, but I could be completely wrong also.

I stopped by this afternoon and it looks like a big frozen mess inside with insulation hanging down every where and there isn't a roof on 90% of it, just in the very front

I'm down that way at least twice a week and I haven't seen a lick of progress. Right after the fire they brought in some heavy machinery and started in on that back corner, then all progress just stopped. I wonder why....

Latest I had heard a week or so ago, was that the insurance company had not finished their investigation, and given the cold weather, I can understand not being in a rush to try to anything at this point.

Drove by tonight, most if not all the building has been torn down.

I saw them working on it yesterday, and was cursing myself for forgetting my camera. Ahhh well.

It seemed like that last snow storm caused even more damage. I wonder if that sped up, or stopped the investigation, or if it's just coincidence that they've started the demolition now.

Update as of 9:45 a.m., they are currently tearing down the rest of the building.

Alton Bay History ends up in a dumpster.

Just think of all the fun had in that building

The remains of the historic Alton Bay Pavilion are now completely gone, except for a concrete slab and the flagpole.

These two shots were taken today.
