West Lake Shore Road

This building, constructed in 1887, originally housed the Schaedler and Rhein Winery. At the height of its operation, it had a capacity of 80,000 gallons, stored in 2,000 gallon casks, making it one of the largest wineries on the Island. The 18th Amendment effectively halted its operation and the building sat vacant until 1935, when it was purchased and converted into a bar-restaurant, known as Camp Kellisle.

Over the years the structure was considerably enlarged. Its most recent renovation took place in 1991 when the interior was modernized and the name changed to West Bay Inn. However, much of the original stone and timber construction is still in evidence and it retains much of its original character.
