Description
The Pine Point House being moved further back from the ocean as it had suffered damages from a storm in 1898. The storm eroded the beach and made it quite narrow. If the storm lasted longer or the high surf continued, Pine Point land would likely been divided. The Pine Point House was moved 100 feet north and, although under different owners, remained in business through most of the 1930s.
