As was the case with so many New England summer hotels, however, the second Holly Inn also fell victim to fire and was destroyed August 10, 1923.

With financial backing from some wealthy members of the now vibrant summer community, Albert Thorpe built the slightly larger third Holly Inn.

This version of the Holly Inn lasted just a few years longer than its predecessor; it burned to the ground on September 12, 1940.
