<p>Every single year rumors circulate around the internet that the Cedars dorms at Cedar Point are getting removed. </p>
<p>The Cedars dorms goes back a long way into the Cedar Point history books.</p>
<p>In 1901, The White House hotel was built and designed by architect Oliver W. Marble with fifty-five rooms. In 1903, The White House hotel is expanded to one hundred twenty-five rooms. </p>
<p>By 1915, The White House hotel was renovated and reopened as Cedars Hotel.</p>

<p>The Cedars Hotel offered guests accommodations a less formal experience than those at Hotel Breakers, but provided them with their own cafeteria, cigar stand, gift shops, and cozy corners complete with plants, reading lights, wicker chairs and writing tables.</p>
<p>Eventually Cedars Hotel was converted into Cedars dorms for employees. </p>
<p>Today, the dorms remain pretty much unchanged from how they were decades ago. No air conditioning, but each room may bring their own. Rooms accommodate three people with a set of bunk beds and single bed. Amenities are minimal. </p>
<p>All below pictures were submitted anonymously of the current building status July 2018. Regardless of whether you are a past employee or curious historian, Cedars dorm may soon be removed, making it an interesting relic. </p>

The sounds of those squeaky front doors opening and slamming shut will always be the sound of summer for me.

Executive Apartment # 1 (Cedars)
When I worked at Famous Faves, Cedars was the place I would take my break at and eat from the vending machines
Famous Daves
As a "local" working at the Point, several coworking friends lived in the Cedars. They said living in the sparse rooms prepared them for college dorm life.
Great memories abound.
Lived there in the summer of 1976. Always reminced of my time there when I visit the park. Sad to see them go.
The creaky floors and doors- I loved every bit of it! Wish they would restore and turn it back into a hotel- 🤔
Everything is being torn down for new. So few have a desire to take care of and preserve that which means so much to so many people and families. It's so SO SAD!
Breaks my heart that they are removing The Cedars. What an amazing piece of history. Such great memories there. So much could be done to preserve and update this incredible old place. All about $$$. Cedar Fair is horrible at managing its properties.
Without profits to be made there would be no Cedar Point. The buildings could not be brought up to modern fire safety standards and space on the peninsula is at a premium.
Please show some respect for Cedars. Without a doubt, removing Cedars was the most iconic historical structure they have ever removed. You are right. I was falling apart. But that son of a gun lasted 120+ years.
Here is a tour of Executive Apartment #1.... I bet it is not the Cedars you were used to staying in.. Hehehe

I watched President Nixon resign in the Cedars TV room. Yes, it was a dump 40 years ago, but, the convenience of living right outside the gate was great.
July 29, 1981: A crowd assembled in the TV room early in the morning for the marriage of Lady Di to Prince Charles. Otherwise, whatever was on, we watched, because no one was ever assertive enough to change the channel. ... Nothing better at the end of a shift than getting a Peach Nehi from The Munchery (run by Jeannetta) and plopping down on one of those couches. (At least for those of us who didn't go to the Rec Center for mere beer.)
It's amazing how few pictures there are of the inside or outside of The Cedar's throughout history. I lived there for a few summers in the mid 80s and never took one pic.
