Galveston, Texas - another Kodachrome by my dad, taken in November, 1960. The weather looks ominous. View full size.
How cool it would be to swim in that pool while the waves break in close by. I would imagine the rates were reasonable, even by the standards of the day. A family could be lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves through an open window.
A web search shows many lodging places in Galveston right up by the shore. I wonder what became of this one? I couldn't find a match with the name provided.
Did a big storm or hurricane perhaps damage or destroy this place?
I'm hoping it is still in business, under a different name.
