To the left (south) of the old building pictured here, was a cafe that eventually closed, and was bought by the Lodge. This was demolished and the present Lodge building erected on its site. |

The following history of the building pictured at the left was provided by Bro Brewster Lynch. This building was located on the present Lodge parking area. At one time, the ground level was a Chevrolet dealership. At the rear was a separate metal building used as an auto repair shop by the dealership, and later as an independent repair shop. Initially, the Lodge occupied the upper floor, and later bought the building after the auto dealership closed. Access to the upper floor was by an exterior staircase at the rear. The building had a basement that was flooded to a depth of several feet. Bro Lynch remembers from his boyhood, feeding some rather large turtles that were ever present in the basement. Anyone knowing additional history of this building, is invited to contact the Webmaster. |
