This c.1897 fixer upper is located in the Grant Beach neighborhood of Springfield, Missouri. Grant Avenue is one block over, but where is the beach??

History

The “Beach” was tacked on to the name as there once was a 5-acre pond/swimming hole in the neighborhood surrounded by a sandy beach. Around the early part of the 1900s, Springfield’s park board purchased land for $10,000 that had been the site the old Ozark Woolen Company. The woolen company had moved to another location in 1873, the buildings fell into disrepair and the land was left for cattle for grazing. The 13.5 acreage had a small stream which the park board damned to build a swimming hole and ice skating pond. Sand was trucked in to create a beach, and up to 1,000 people daily would visit each summer. Decades later the beach at Grant Beach Park was turned into a swimming pool.

    I really wish there were more pictures! Nothing of a kitchen, fireplace or the other bathroom. I really would have like to have seen the fireplace.
