Thinking of devastating fires in Alton Bay reminds of the loss of the Oak Birch Inn on 28A on the east side of the bay. Luckily I had the pleasure of having drinks on the porch a few times and dining there once before it burnt to the ground.

The Inn burnt on April 3, 1989. It had a bowling alley, movie theater, dancing and a casino at one time.
Here is a link to a video of the Inn burning
