I don't know the
dimensions of these sills, but if one loosened and fell on one,
one would never know.
The hotel has a honey of a patio, like you see in travel bureau
literature. All first floor doors are double and fasten from the
inside with glorified gatehooks that look like the twisted
lightning rods on Mrs. Bridge's brick house west of Greencastle,
only bigger and heavier. The one hanging on the inside of one of
the front main double doors was about three feet long and the
"staple" it hooked into was three-quarter inch solid iron.
Hurricane insurance, probably.
Hotel 1829 has a maximum capacity of 24, although if remodeled
for efficiency and waste spaces done away with, it could
accommodate 124. Reservations are required and one hour notice
for lunch and three hours for dinner. Rates: $10 per day per
person, and up.
C.A. is a free port. Silverware, souvenirs, straw hats and
sandals, cigarettes, wines and liquors and vegetable markets are
predominant, but the greatest of these are wines and liquors. Old
Gold cigarettes and the other three or four principal brands
retail at 90 cents per carton, no tax. French champagnes like
Moet and Somebody, $3.50 per bottle.
By the time we got there, the market was about closed.
