#7: Albert Pfundt established this store around 1920. He purchased the business from Fred Wyatt and moved part of the structure (by horse power) & barge( from its location on Bourke's Point to Holly Bay. He then expanded the store & built a 400-foot pier with two sheds to store chicken feed, kerosene, & oil. Mail, supplies & passengers arrived daily on the State of Washington sternwheeler. Florence "Flossie" Clark remembers that "when you wanted to go to Seattle, you hung two lanterns on the dock to signal the ship". In 1925, Pfundt built 5 beachfront cabins south of the store. He rented them to loggers in the fall & winter months & to vacationers in the summer. He later increased the number of cabins to 14. The resort (store,14 cabins 2 small houses, inventory, & equipment) was sold in 1949 for $45,000. Albert Pfundt's home, built in 1910, is at left of center in the photo.
