SS Grand View Point Hotel

SS Grand View Point Hotel

I inherited a box of negatives from my mother, Eva Wickiser Bennett of Kirkersville, Ohio. Upon developing them I found this one of the SS Grand View Point Hotel, believed to have been taken between 1935-1940, but it may have been earlier. I had no idea what it was or where it was located so it went unidentifed for at least a decade. I emailed it to quite a few people trying to identify it when a cousin found it on the Internet.

Wow what a memory of the Ship Hotel, I must have stood on the balcony over looked God's beauty a hundred times of the years, this would have had to have been one of the wonders of the world if someone would have taken the time to inspect.. I have stood down below the ship and looked up toward the top, and it was breath taking, I remember the night it burned, and the next morning having to look at the smoke and now only a memory of one of the worlds most beautiful sites.. thanks for the memory.

Hello Rickie,

Thank you so much for sharing your old photo of the SS Grand View Point Hotel, also known by the local people as the Ship Hotel. Looking at it brings back so many wonderful memories of my visits there as a child in the mid 50s. The view was just unbelievable.
