 Dayton, Ohio
22210 Wagoner Ford Rd

 

 Dayton's early Gate Lodge did not feature the familiar framework and drop lights over the registration counter. However the church-looking A-frame structure did have a series of drop lights hanging along the front windows. Note that the light fixtures are the same as those photographed in Titusville, Florida's Gate Lodge in 2005!

Everything in the vintage postcard view of the Gate Lodge interior makes sense except for the two youths in bow ties holding large metal loops or rings. Perhaps they were there to perform a skit as patrons checked in.
