Hello Halfway Brook Friends.
We have been having freezing temps at night for two weeks here in Arizona, and it has been a pretty hard winter back east, though sometimes the temps have fluctuated to something more reasonable.
I received this group of photos from Chris Doyle this week, and thought I would remind us all that summer will be approaching soon. Well, unless it’s like the notorious cold summer of 1816.
1897 Crandall’s Cold Spring Farm
I spent the month of August for a few years as a child in one of three small cottages across from a farmhouse by the blue ribbon restaurant.
I remember the hotel and the “saloon” on the lake that served ice cream as the adults had a cold beer. I remember crawling up the fire escapes of the hotel to peek in! That was probably about 50 years ago!! Sad no one in my family ever took pictures.
I currently own the property, and live in a house where the Crandall Hotel once stood. Thanks for the picture
Yours, Mike Sherwood
