Room history
The casino figured prominently in Eagles Mere life. It was once a recreation hall, and later an amusement hall on the grounds of the Forest Inn. This was a two-story building, with the first floor containing two bowling alleys, shuffleboard courts, and pool/billiard tables. The highest bowling score recorded was 267(Von Hagen-1918, Ted Gardner- 1925). Charges to bowl were 25 cents per game. Upstairs included a large dance floor, stage and bar. On Saturday nights the nearby theatre shut down for the infamous Saturday night dance, the “Eagles Mere Dance.” Hotels would buy tables for the night. Besides the dance, the “Hamburg Show” featured local talent, and the “Carnival Ball” featured the winners of the Water Carnival and its seasonal celebration.
