Hotel Lakeside Celebrates 140 Years
|
|
 Hotel Lakeside, a notable National Historic Landmark, will celebrate its 140th Anniversary this summer. Lakesiders are invited to a Birthday
Celebration on the Hotel Lakeside lawn from 1:15-1:30 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 2 during Heritage Day.
Built in 1875 during the beginning of the Chautauqua
Movement, the historic Hotel Lakeside sits stoically along the Lake Erie shore, a one-of-a-kind edifice representing the architecture and history of another era.
Throughout the years, the hotel has provided accommodations for many famous guests, including President William McKinley, Rutherford B. Hayes, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and Amelia Earhart.
The original Hotel Lakeside was built in 1875 for $14,000
and included the west wing and dining room. In 1879, an annex was built with an additional 60 rooms, but it was not until 1890 that the two structures were connected.

Lakeside Symphony Orchestra Concert "An Evening
in Vienna"

Sobieska will charm the Lakeside audience with arias and songs featuring the popular music of Johann Strauss.

known as the "Operetta King."
This collection of waltzes and polkas makes the overture a rare blend of Viennese gaiety and French drollery. Following the selection will be "Roses from the South."
