The Lodge at Pertle Springs

A view of the old lodge.

    Quite a few folks around here lament the demolition of a lovely building... the old lodge at Pertle Springs.  If you peer through the trees, you can sense some of the grandeur of the lovely structure. The original hotel at the springs was was much larger and had over 100 rooms. It was destroyed by fire by the 1940s (actual date available upon request.  : )   )
     Through the 1970s and 80s this Lodge was used for group meetings and parties. We appreciate the contribution from a friend who recently found several photos that he shot around the 'burg when he was just learning to use his camera ... a completely different process than learning to "take pictures" today, but that's another post.
