The fountain was a landmark at
the Beach and one of the best places to spend a few minutes
relaxing. By night it had a colorful light array
and couples could be found enjoying the scene together. I believe
that the postcard company altered this card to show the nighttime
effect during the day. |

There is little information
about the park's main gate. I assume it was erected around
1900-1910, but have found no information giving the date it was
built. There were always many cars in the parking lot behind
the gate and a sign hung on the nearby fence that read "Open
for the Season" or "Closed for the Season"
depending on the time of year. |

This beautiful view of Euclid
Beach was drawn after an artist flew overhead. The beach and
walkway are to the left, the Switchback Railway is in the distance
and the dance hall is visible to the right. |

The Dance Pavilion had over
18,000 feet of floor available to patrons. It was built in
1895 and the art deco interior was added in the 1930's. It
was a magnificent example of the unique architecture form in all
its modern glory.

Although ships stopped coming
from Cleveland shortly after the turn of the century, the pier was
still a popular place to visit on a spring day. This area of
the park was very magical as the trees seemed to magically part
for the sparkling lake.

Although not as exciting as
many of the other structures at the Beach, the administration was
an integral part of the park's operation. The structure was
built using the Humphrey family's unique concrete construction
method.
