Construction had begun after Mr. Hill had purchased (in 1902) the property that was to become "Little Point Sable." Old Point histories list Catherine Edwards (sister of Sarah Edwards Thompson) as among the first guests at the Lodge. Some other families that came to stay at the Lodge that first summer in 1904 are still "Pointers" to this day, marking an unending string of 101 (as of 2005) years at LPS.
