According to the book Cedar Point: the Queen of American Watering Places, by David W. and
Diane DeMali Francis, the White House hotel was the second
hotel at the Cedar Point resort. The smaller Bay Shore hotel had been
constructed in 1899, and was used as a boarding house after the White House
hotel opened in 1901 with fifty-five rooms. By 1903, the White House hotel
expanded to one hundred twenty-five rooms. At the same time, cottages were
available for rent at Cedar Point. In 1915, the White House hotel was expanded
again, and became known as the Cedars Hotel.
The Cedars Hotel had seven sections that were
connected by walkways. Here is a postcard that features a “cozy corner” of
the Cedars:
Today, part of the former Cedars Hotel
serves as employee housing.
The Hotel Breakers opened in 1905, and remains as
an important part of Cedar Point today.
