Oban House

Oban House (Christian Hansen, proprietor), Half Moon Bay. Oban House, the most prominent building at Half Moon Bay, is a two-storey structure situated close to the jetty. It was enlarged in 1899 to almost double its original size, and has accommodation for from sixty to seventy guests. The dining-room is a very fine apartment, capable of seating sixty people. There are twenty-two double bedrooms and several single ones. The proprietor also keeps a general store on the ground floor. Captain Hansen is the owner of the cutter “Ganet,” twenty-one tons, carrying an auxiliary oil engine. The “Ganet” makes trips to the beauty spots of the island.
