In the fall of 1925 there was a forest, fire on the north side of thr lake from where the Cataract River joins Duborne, east along the shore to Granary Lake. By 1940 the timber had grown back. The firetower had been manned for only a few years and by l940 it had collapsed. In 1934 the Association bought more land-seventy acres for $454.00. This extended their property around the point to Abernots Bay. In 1938 they bought an additional eleven acres which had been part of the Jensen Homestead. Association Meetings were held at Counsel Rock-the large bald rock near the point. By 1949 they had built a Community House which, during the dedication ceremony on August 1st, 1949 they named it the Gilbert Barnes Memorial Community House, after Professor Barnes who had passed away some years before. The Battle Point Wesleyan Association owns the land and the cottagers who leased it from the Association had to be connected with Wesleyan University in some way. This policy still hold true today even for the third generation that comes up now.
