Fire was final fate of Clermont Harbor Hotel
The imposing building in today’s Flashback is a postcard image of the Clermont Hr ' ->r Hotel, which overlooked th. .ississippi Sound at Clermont Harbor, about two miles west of Waveland in Hancock County. But as imposing as it looks, the hotel was, in the words of the last owner, an ill-fated “Jonah.”
The history of the hotel is told in an article written in 1996 by John Guerin. A grand but unsuccessful scheme to create a beach resort, or “Rivierra,” at Clermont Harbor to attract people of New Orleans, included the creation of a motorboat harbor, a 500-foot wharf, a bathhouse, a dancing pavilion and

the building of the Clermont Harbor Hotel, which was completed by 1913.
Just two years later, the hurricane of Sept 29,1915, nearly finished it off. The owners borrowed heavily against the property, and, in 1925,
they hired Hugh Turner Carr of Virginia to rebuild the damaged hotel. According to Gherin, Carr
found one store, a post office, and “a million mosquitoes” in Clermont Harbor. Despite the mosquitoes, Canr fell in love with the Mississippi Coast and spent the rest of his life here.
On July 3 and 4,1926, the L&N railroad sent 4 extra trains crowded with New Orleanians headed to coast cities for the holiday. The destination of one of those trains, with 500 on board, was the Clermont Harbor Hotel for the celebration of its grand opening. But the hotel again faced disaster with the financial crisis of 1929 and the Great Depression that followed.
Finally, about 1945, the hotel passed into the hands M Wilfred
Guerin, president of the Clermont Harbor Hotel Corporation. The grand opening on June 1,1946, drew crowds, but those who had spent the night had to vacate in their bedclothes in the early morning, as the hotel was on fire. With no fire hydrants in Clermont Harbor, the building burned to the ground.
