During the late 1940s, the Red River Lumber Company was in the process of dissolution. They came to the conclusion the shoreline property they owned at Lake Almanor would be better for resort development and subdivisions that the expensive task for reforestation. To make the decision was a lot easier than to implement.
It was finally decided that they should sale to a developer than to undertake it themselves. Harriett Walker Henderson and Theodore S. Walker were designated by the family to sell the shoreline property at Lake Almanor, consisting of some 2,500 acres. They succeeded in quick order. On June 9, 1950, the property was sold to Lake Almanor Development Company for $160,000. The company was comprised of Seattle investors Warren Orr, Paul Block and Edward Clifford. In 1953, witnessed the initial development on the peninsula as the Lake Almanor Country Club.
Would be interesting to see a then and now picture.
I been asked to do a presentation at the Lake Almanor Country Club, so I will take a photograph when I am over there.
