Columbus Inn And Cottages. On a hill with a spectacular vista of the Bay overall from 217 feet. A beach was included. The property was originally the greathouse for the Bridgewater Pen estate. An estate that raised cattle and livestock. The Pen property ran down to the coastline and into an area called "Dairy St. Ann" - which refers to cattle being held down there. However, cattle and horses also seem to have been present on the edges of Bridgewater Pen itself.

• In 1947, Harold R. Peat bought Bridgewater Pen from its then owner, Harry Stephenson, and it became the main asset in Peat's Discovery Bay Company, which also included some 1800 acres of land running along the east side curve off Discovery Bay.
• In 1947-1948, more modern guest quarters, public areas and restaurant, adjacent to the original house, were added.
• In 1948, Peat renamed the surrounding town then known as "Dry Harbour," to "Discovery Bay," for being near the site of Columbus's landing on May 4, 1494. Columbus called it Dry Harbour as there was no fresh water. But the public beach retained its name identity and is known as "Puerto Seco Beach," which translates to "Dry Harbour Beach." And there are the Dry Harbour Mountains.
• In 1948, the hotel opened. Former clients from Peat's lecture bureau days came down as guests to the inn. Mostly writers, and some musicians and actors.
• In July 1949, Mr. Garner A. Havers, a Canadian, left the inn and took over as manager at Tower Isle. He advised during the coonstruction of the inn, and acted as manager during the first season.
• In fall 1953, new management took over. See new postcards and the sending of rate cards to tourism bureau.
• Gone from the 1958 Texaco map.
• At some point Kaiser Bauxite bought all of the Discovery Bay Company.
• In 1967, the main building became the administrative offices for Kaiser, Desnoes & Geddes.
• In 1999, the property was sold. It become The Glen Preparatory School.
• The property is now the campus of Brown's Town Community College.
• The beach is now the Puerto Seco Beach Park, which is a public recreational beach with a 1000 foot stretch of pristine white sand. A fee to get in.
