Does any one know where whose property the photographer was on when this photo was taken?
On the left is Orchard Terrace which became the school for some years. The Congregational church can be seen next. The Slonek home is in the distance behind the church. Sunshine Hall is about in the middle of the photo, across from what was one time the C.C.P. Eldred home.
The following two photos came from my mom’s seemingly never ending treasure trove. This is a lot to ask, but does the location in either photo look familiar? Or the two men in the bottom photo?
Does this house look familiar to anyone? It may have been in Lumberland.
Oops! If you got a notice that Monkey Wards was the name of this post, you are probably wondering how that matched up with Highland Hotel. It doesn’t really connect and chalk it up to writer error.
I so appreciate the comments Halfway Brook readers have been making.
I continue to group information and photos into the years 1920 to 1950 (plus or minus) for book 3, and today ran across this envelope from Sand Beach.
I have heard some stories of those who were often at Sand Beach on Highland Lake. That is one of the places the guests at Mountain Grove House (my Austin grandparents boarding house) would go for “bathing” (swimming) or boating.
Does anyone know the history of Sand Beach or have photos?
