Christopher and Elizabeth Caple Collection -- Redrooffs Resort, Page 1

The coloured photographs are of the Caple family holiday cottage built circa 1916-17 as a rental cottage for Redrooffs Resort, which was located east of Cooper's Green at Halfmoon Bay. The first cottages were built in 1912 and all are said to have consisted of a frame with half walls and wire mosquito screening. Canvas flaps were dropped to keep out rain and wind. Other facilities were a wood-burning stove and an outhouse. The photographs show renovations have taken place over the years. Various renters enjoyed their summer holidays in the cottage until the resort was sold in 1942 and the land subdivided. Christopher Caple and his sister Elizabeth Caple are the most recent Caple owners and plan a new cottage sympathetic to the design of the original Redrooffs Resort cottages.
