Plimmerton House (Charles Plimmer, proprietor), close to Railway Station, Plimmerton. This fine building, for which a license has been sought—so far without success,—is a two-story wooden structure containing thirty two rooms. The bedrooms, all well and tastefully furnished, number twenty; the dining-room seats sixty comfortably, and there are five good sitting rooms. The house is worthy of more paronage; though it is always full to overflowing in the season, which lasts from December to March, it is all but empty for the remaining eight months of the year. Plimmerton House was opened in 1894, and the splendid beach and charming surroundings make it a most attractive marine resort for the denizens of the Empire City and many other parts of the Colony. Mr. Charles Plimmer, the proprietor, is a son of Mr. John Plimmer, well and popularly known in the Capital City as the “Father of Wellington,” who has spent several thousand pounds in making this pretty spot available for healthful recreation and change.
