Captain’s Room

The Northport Inn & Lodge has rich history, dating back over a hundred years. There have been a number of renovations to the property and recently, a large first floor space which had been a dinning room and bar, for a past restaurant renovation, was converted back to a first floor suite.

As the demo and remodel progressed, it became apparent that this room had an original bathroom which was removed for the dinning room. A new bathroom was put back in the same location as the original one.

Some construction observations revealed that this room was originally two rooms, possibly a sitting room with the fireplace and another room with the common bathroom on the ocean side. The original residence was built with only two bathrooms.

At the end of the buildout and renovation, a new suite, called the Captain’s Room is once again available for travelers and commemorates the original owners of the home in the early part of the last century.

The owners of The Northport also wanted to keep the room in the style of the period, so measures were taken to retain the continuity of the original materials, trim and doors while providing the modern conveniences of this century.

Some of the completed room photos are below.

The overal project took several months and encountered some delays with materials and contractor availbility, but all came together very well.
