Room history
The “Beach” has always been the magic of Eagles Mere. With fine grained sand and a view of the entire Lake, it is the place to be on a fine summer day. Originally cultivated to make glass, for the last 170 years it has delivered swimming, boating, sports programs, and competitions. The physical presence looks relatively unchanged from that of the early 1900’s and features bathhouses, a central beach house, docks, and boat storage. Floats, diving boards and docks have been in various positions over the years; the earliest diving board built was a separate structure requiring a swim to get to it. Originally no benches existed; socialization took place from the use of broad rowboats. Before 11:00AM and after 3:00PM, ladies would carry parasols when not swimming to have the least amount of sun to avoid tanning and perspiration. In 1910, the beach house was moved to its present position. Houckie’s Dock and Hiram’s Landing were names given to the beach dock, honoring Hiram Humphrey and Maurice Houck, who were responsible for the maintenance of the docks, boats, beach and path.
