The mission was formally given up in 1837 when the State of Michigan was admitted to the United States. Edward Franks bought the unused Mission building in 1845, added a third story, and reopened it as Mission House Hotel in 1849. Mission House was owned and operated by the Franks family until 1939. They sold it and the hotel was converted to a rooming house. In 1946 the Hon. Miles and Margaret Phillimore bought the property, and provided quarters for summer visitors at Moral Re-Armament meetings. In 1965 it was deeded to Mackinac College (1966–1970) and used as a ski hut. After Mackinac College closed in 1970, it was briefly owned by the Cathedral of Tomorrow. In 1977, Mission House was acquired by Mackinac Island State Park, which restored it and uses it to house summer employees of the park. In 1882, Alanson Sheley (1809–1892) had two cottages built on Mission Point east of the Mission House (then the Mission House Hotel). A cottage was built by Robert Doud; today's Mission Point Theater was built to the west of its site (below). The second was Cedar Point cottage, located in the courtyard just northeast of today's Great Hall (below). When Sheley died, Cedar Point cottage, which had served as a summer cottage for the family, went to the Brooks family. The cottage built by Doud went to the Clark family, who later sold it to the Faren family, when it became known as the Faren Cottage. In 1948, Rev. Norman Schwab purchased Faren Cottage. He had recently sold his family's Small Point home in Maine, and called the cottage Small Point. Small Point became the family's principal residence year round. In 1959, the Schwab family donated the land on which their cottage stood to the Moral Re-Armament (MRA) group. It planned to use the land for construction of a film studio. The cottage was winterized and transported to a site west of Robinson's Folly. Small Point cottage served as a residence for the Schwab family and several other families for many years. In 1971, John and Lois Findley moved to Mackinac Island to teach at the local school. They rented Small Point and purchased it in 1973. They operate Small Point as a bed and breakfast. Cedar Point cottage was constructed in 1882 on Mission Point. It was occupied seasonally during the summer especially by wealthy families from Detroit. and was occupied through subsequent years: —1917, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Brooks and Mr. and Mrs. Alanson Brooks of Detroit arrived Sunday to look over the improvements being made by Contractor Doud on their beautiful summer cottage on Cedar Point.—1917, Mr. David Whitney Jr. and family of Detroit arrived Wednesday and are occupying the Brooks cottage located at Cedar Point—1918, Brooks, Alanson S.
