The Saltaire's History
Built in 1955 by the Stokes family, the Saltaire was originally built as a summer vacation home. By 1957 it grew to 4 separate bedrooms, which were rented to families visiting the area. By 1967 it had enlarged to ten 2-bedroom apartments, 2 cottages, and a swimming pool. In 1973 the main house was lost during a winter storm. Mostly renovated in 2003-4, the Saltaire stands steadfast after 40 years. Many families return every year---moms and dads that once came here as children now teach their children how to swim in the Saltaire pool. Built with love and hard work, one family began a court that now becomes many families every year.

“I continue to grow with new and old families who visit me. My walls and court-grounds contain memories of friends who have stayed with me every year since I began. I am seeing their grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Can you believe that their grandparents taught their parents to swim in my pool…and the circle continues. Lasting friendships started here, young romances come and go, some continuing into marriage. I’ve even seen a wedding or two, along with many honeymooning couples.
I am a family court where generations still gather to make new memories, and regale each other with their yesterday’s memories of summers spent at the SALTAIRE…A state of mind, an air of life, in a place where only you can make my history.”
