The White Owl Cabins were built by Albert Cobb on land he purchased from Thomas McIntyre in 1933. He and his wife operated the business through the mid 1940’s. I believe he passed away and his wife then sold to Robert Rae in 1946. Ralph and Helene Poudrier purchased the business in 1963 and operated it for a number of years (into the 70’s or possibly even the 80’s). I seem to remember there was a dining room attached, as well. I always thought they were a neat group of cabins, as they were nestled in a lovely pine grove, allowing privacy and seclusion from the busy traffic nearby. It was sad to see those pines cut down when Shaw's moved in.
