In 1936 Gordon Folger Jr., grandson of the Point Breeze’s original proprietor, Charles F. Folger, purchased the hotel from the bank and renamed it after himself, as the Gordon Folger Hotel. Today’s ballroom was used by the then Nantucket Whaler’s basketball team during the 1930’s as their home base. The Folger’s would turn on room lights during the lean WW 11 years to look like there was business.
