History: The resort first opened in 1872 under the direction of Captain Theodore Weare’s wife, Elsie Jane. Elsie Jane invested her money to buy Bald Head Cliff and then had her brother, Captain Charles Perkins, design and build the Cliff House. In 1910, ownership was transferred to her sons, Charles and Edward T. Weare. The Oceanview Annex was then built.
