To Ever Growing Lake Colony
Tri-Towns people, according to the
Piedmont Herald, are developing an
attractive camp at the Green Glade
Club property on Deep Creek Lake
near Swanton, where high altitude
provides delightful weather condi-
lions during the summer months.
Last season the promoters pur-
chased the Briar Bend school build
ing, formerly used as a girls semi
nary at Mountain Lake Park, and af-
ter tearing it down moved the ma
terial to the camp site where it was
re-erected and provides a spacious
club house. On the first floor are
large living room with big open fire.
place, a kitchen and storage room.
Many screeden porches add to the IA
cilities for enjoying the cool breezes
from the lake. One of the porches is
used as a dining room and the others
are equipped with swings and easy
chairs.
Upstairs four bedrooms open onto
a long hall, running the length of
the building. The hall gives access
to another large screened porch.
The families of the club members
have use of the club house a week
at time.
Club members have been assigned
plots of ground for cottages and al
ready a number have built summer
residences there.
For some weeks this summer Mr..
and Mrs. W. H. Fredlock occupied
their new bungalow there. 1t is a
cozy five-room structure, which in
cludes living room with open fire.
place, kitchen and three bedrooms.
A porch opening from the kitchen
provides dining quarters. A front
porch gives view of the glorious
sunsets on the lake. The cottage is
appropriately named Lock Haven.
Frank Dixon has a group of three
small buildings, one of which pro-
vides living quarters and the other
two sleeping quarters. At present ne
is erecting an addition to the living
quarters.
Charles S. Friend has a small cot
tage which he and his family have
occupied at various times during the
summer.
Martin Watson has about ready for
occupancy a one-room house with
porch. With the expectation of en-
larging the building by enclosing the
porch, a window has been placed at
either end of the fireplace in the liv-
ing room so that they may easily be
replaced with doors.
The cottage of Mr.. and Mrs. Glenn
Boyd is also nearing completion.
Across an inlet of the lake is an
other group of cottages, including one
recently erected by DR.. Jas. H. VOL
verton, of Piedmont.
The Owl Club, composed of Tri-
Towns people, also has cabin with
in sight of Green Glade Camp.
Between the club house and the
lake shore is fine grove of trees,
beneath which the campers while
away some of their time watching
the activities on the lake.
During recent weeks water has
been taken from the lake to generate
power. AS result the lake has re-
ceded considerably.
Boating on the lake is favorite
pastime of the campers and affords
convenient means of visiting the
neighboring camps. Motor, sail and
row boats are all in use on the lake.
The recent opening of the Alta
mont Swanton road brings hard
surfaced road within a short distance
of the camp. This connects with the
improved road running from U. S.
so at the top of Allegany mountain
through Elk Garden, Blaine, Kitzmil-
Ter to Deer Park. A much shorter
route is via the dirt road of Bloom
ington. By the latter route the dis
lance to the camp is only about Is
miles from Piedmont. The Green
Glade Club members are therefore
DESTROYS of seeing the road from
Bloomington to the junction of the
Kitzmiller road improved. The mile
age to the cross roads is IL miles, of
which only two miles to Bloomington
is hard surfaced.
