The former Little Chum's Lodge hasn't changed much since it was built in 1951. It still has glass block windows on the two front corners of the building, but some of the other windows look like they may have been replaced. All of the old signage is gone as well as the playground. Some of the advertising text on the back of a vintage postcard might not work so well today, but it does reflect another time.
