The Jordan Pond House building in Acadia National Park, located at an idyllic site where tea and popovers have been served since the late 1800s, will have to be replaced in the next several years, according to a senior park official. The restaurant and gift shop complex — which includes a second-story outdoor deck with a view of the tea lawn, Jordan Pond and The Bubbles mountains in the distance — was built 40 years ago, after the prior restaurant and gift shop building burned down in a fire in 1979. But the building has design flaws that have resulted in water infiltrating the support structure.
