It's across from the former diner location, the house was built in 1930 and there are still two cottages on the property dating from the 30s and 40s.Dan Bradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02118939034032765664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321103554333725644.post-4643490175767669572014-03-22T20:08:08.996-04:002014-03-22T20:08:08.996-04:00"Vanishing Beach Motel" is a great name...."Vanishing Beach Motel" is a great name.

I never understood the relationship (if any) of the newer Lorain Country Club by the hospital that Mike is referring to and the "original" one on West Erie.<br /><br />For as many times as I ate at the Brown Derby, I must have been too interested in my steak to notice any LSE memorabilia!Dan Bradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02118939034032765664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321103554333725644.post-64064561359041386852014-03-19T19:59:50.878-04:002014-03-19T19:59:50.878-04:00Fox Creek isn't the former Lorain Country Club...Fox Creek isn't the former Lorain Country Club, at least not the original one. Fox Creek is over by Oak Point while the original Lorain Country Club was over by the US6/611 interchange, a couple miles away. The clubhouse was north of the railroad tracks and West Erie, while the golf course was on the south side of the tracks. The golf course was abandoned by 1942 and is now a housing subdivision. The clubhouse burned down in the 50's.<br /><br />I believe Fox Creek was formerly known as the Lorain Country Club, but that was well after the original Lorain Country Club (which dates to at least the early 1920's) was gone. That can create some confusion.<br /><br />The Brown Derby restaurant did have photos and memorabilia of the LSE, but that didn't necessarily have anything to do with the history of the building or golf course, just the owners interest in the LSE.Drew Penfieldhttp://www.lakeshorerailmaps.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321103554333725644.post-53962518658805654692014-03-19T15:48:12.402-04:002014-03-19T15:48:12.402-04:00I believe you're correct, Mike!I believe you're correct, Mike!Dan Bradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02118939034032765664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321103554333725644.post-64443747203990307602014-03-18T22:33:36.358-04:002014-03-18T22:33:36.358-04:00Dan,
