Description

An acrylic photograph of the Bridgeview Inn, Wasaga Beach, Ontario

Context

The Bridgeview Inn was located on the corner of River Road, over the Main Street Bridge on the riverside. The Inn was a large building that rented rooms, cabins and tents to tourists. Fresh meats and groceries were also available for purchase at the Bridgeview Inn. The proprietor at the time the photograph was taken was J. E. Beardsall. In the 1970’s, the Bridge-View-Inn became the Bridgeview Motel & Snack Bar. It was later renamed Ponte Vista when Larry and Joan Campagna bought it in 1980. In 2001, they converted into a store.
