- Notes
- Posted on Facebook by Michael Dawe - For John Law, the site of the Sandy Cove Resort at Sylvan Lake, c. 1938. The building on the left was the Alexander Pavilion, later known as the Prom Dance Hall. It burned down in July 1959. Above that is the old Sylvan Lake Hotel. Photo by Syd Wardle. Red Deer Archives P7040.
- The row of cabins along the trees and Lakeshore Drive were built by Della Loiselle and her husband Henry Hussfeldt. Those cabins were there until the mid-1960's when Hartley MacLeod took over the property and either demolished or sold off the old cabins. Along the shore line, you can see the bleachers that they used to move over to the wooden pier during regattas and other special events. Other things on the site would be recreational structures/equipment.
