Flooding in the early 80s from agricultural wastewater caused damage to the marina, causing the North Shore Beach & Yacht Club to close. A grant to rehabilitate the property allowed for a restoration of Frey’s design and the club reopened in 2010 as a community center. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2015 along with several other Frey designs in Palm Springs. Today, the sea level is dropping as it evaporates and dries. The fate of the Salton Sea is sadly uncertain, but Frey’s nautical clubhouse thankfully remains intact.
