Grand View Ship Hotel—A Steamer in the Allegheny Mountains

Grand View Ship Hotel—A Steamer in the Allegheny Mountains
A photo of hotels/motels for the Vintage Photos Theme Park.

Caption: "S. S. Grand View Point Hotel. A Steamer in the Allegheny Mountain[s]. 17 miles west of Bedford, Pa. U.S. 30. Elevation 2464 feet."

Signs: "Grand View Point Hotel. Post Cards. Souvenirs. See 3 States and 7 Counties. Visitors Welcome. Free Telescope." "Hotel. Restaurant."

This building started out as the Grand View Point Hotel in 1927 and then became the S. S. Grand View Point Hotel, or Ship Hotel, in 1932 after remodeling.

For more information about the hotel, see my description of the Grand View Ship Hotel: A Steamer in the Allegheny Mountains, 1932. See below for some other postcard views.

ncredible! At first I thought it might also qualify for the "accident waiting to happen" as those back views make it look stomach - droppingly precarious, but after reading about the construction - wow! I guess they secured it appropriately!
An amazing story. Wonder of any of the family ever wrote a book - the ledgers alone must be astonishing.
Did you - or any of your family - ever see this hotel, Alan?
