WEEKAPAUGH INN REOPENS AFTER $20M RESTORATION

WEEKAPAUG, R.I. — New England Construction has completed the $20 million restoration of The Weekapaug Inn in Weekapaug. The company upgraded many of the property's features, while preserving the character of the original structure. The inn now features a private waste treatment facility, a new, three-lane pool and a newly constructed beach house that includes showers, changing areas and a restaurant. The original Weekapaug Inn was constructed in 1899, but was decimated by a hurricane in 1938. The following year, the Buffum family rebuilt the cabin in a new location. Weekapaug Inn & Cottages LLC purchased the property from the Buffum family in 2010.
