Point Pleasant Park

I’ve always admired this Victorian-Gothic house, so I thought I’d share some history on it. The Gatekeepers Lodge for Point Pleasant was built in 1896; a near identical replication of the Wycombe Lodge in Buckinghamshire, England. The last park superintendent lived in the house until 1996. It’s now used by Sable Island Institute. Point pleasant park offically opened in 1873 and Canada leases it from Britain for 1 shilling/year or $.10/year on a 999 year lease.
