Mr. Philip Jones, our Beach Superintendent personally came out of his little
white office to meet and talk with the enginemen of every train that arrived
at Grand Beach. Personally, I think the real reason he left
his office to meet the many trains, was because he was nervous that one
day a train would come right through his little white office building because
it was directly at the end of the train tracks The Police
Station was located at the south end |
of
the old Railway Station. The large white dining hall (where all the
hotel guest had their meals), was still very functional. All the employees
ate together in the rear portion of the Dining Hall. Last but not least
was the wonderful three story Hotel located just north of where the present
Park Office is located. There was a grandeur of the Grand Beach of
that era. It breaks one's heart when looking at what park beaurocrats
have erected in their place. |
