The Varsity Inn building was built in 1905 and has served as a Methodist retreat, a one room schoolhouse, and a private residence. After World War II, it was the Florida Inn Restaurant. In the 1960's it was the White Whale Coffee House, a place for locals and visitors to "hang out." In 1969 the Symonds Family purchased the property and the Varsity Inn Restaurant celebrated its first summer in 1970
