Musicians on the bandstand in the Casino, Loch Sheldrake.
The Dancing Floor, LeRoy's Casino, Loch Sheldrake. This room is sizeable -- around the size of a modern hockey rink.

Ella Bullock's "Souvenir". This card, issued by "Lock (sic) Sheldrake District No. 7, Fallsburgh, Sullivan County, N.Y." and dated 1899-1900, was representative of a genre of school souvenirs that preceded the development of school yearbooks. This particular example, signed by the teacher, Herbert Addison Russell, and with Ella Bullock's name written in at the top, listed all the students in the school at that time. Listed (with spellings as provided) were: Henry Fulton, Ethel Fulton, Lester Fulton, George LeRoy, Luella LeRoy, Ethel Gardner, Ella Bullock, Maggie Bullock, Edith Bullock, Jessie Bullock, Ruth Burr, Morris Burr, Euphemia Labagh, Irving Labagh, Elsie Coddington, Mary Coddington, Carrie VanBenschoten, Bertie VanBenschoten, May Eltz, Gorge Eltz, Willard Kracht, Myrth Knacht, Ethel Dobbs, Orrin Middaugh, Mabel Middaugh, Jay Taylor, Bessie Taylor, Roy Schoonmaker, Jay Misner, Herbert Blake, Freddie Blake, Guernsey Gray, Georgia Yaple, Edna Yapple, Sarah Buttler, George Billyon, Abbie Kilbenski, Charlie Munson, Leo Laidlaw, Floyd Rowe, Isabelle Pomeroy. Also on the list, but asterisked to indicate that they were non-residents in the District, were Austin Labagh, Minnie Labagh, Clara Labagh, John Labagh, and Carrie Labagh. P. E. Coddington is identified as Trustee.

Evans circa 1960 can be found on the
Catskills Institute
website.

Gardner House, Milton A. Gardner, Prop., Loch Sheldrake
Harvest Time 1900 at Loch Sheldrake: S. R. Divine and his potato digger, including several people who were also presumably involved in the potato harvest.
Horses drawing load of milk cans
Hurleyville/Loch Sheldrake road. An unknown hotel appears in the background of the picture.
Hurleyville Souvenir Factory (view #1). This business manufactured the souvenirs sold at roadside stands before cheaper imports from Asia eliminated the business domestically.
Rural Scene, Hurleyville, including two oxen hitched to a wagon drinking from a watering trough.
"Very quiet at the Casino", Loch Sheldrake. An interior view.
Bridge at Hurleyville. There is a ford next to the bridge, where wagons too heavy for the bridge (or those drawn by horses that would not cross a bridge) could cross the stream.
Knapp Block, Hurleyville
"La Favorite". An illustration of a famous Parisian ballet dancer around the turn of the 20th century or slightly before. Presumably the picture was considered rather daring at the time. There is no specific connection here to the Town of Fallsburgh, but there is to the era.
Laidlaw Studio, Loch Sheldrake. Dawne Norris notes that this photo studio was very popular, and that it later became Otto Hillig's Loch Sheldrake studio. Hillig was headquartered on North Main Street in Liberty, but had branch studios elsewhere in Sullivan County. For example, in 1901 he opened a studio in Livingston Manor (Town of Rockland), over J. B. Harvey's notion store where he was present for business on Fridays. Presumably his arrangement with this studio in Loch Sheldrake was similar.
Lakeside House, Loch Sheldrake. This structure is still standing, and is in use as a dormitory for Sullivan County Community College.
LeRoy House, Loch Sheldrake
Load of logs, 1911. One supposes that this photo was taken as a joke, because clearly the two horses hitched to the logs could not possibly move them.
Lower Main Street, Hurleyville. Visible in the photo is the crossing guard's shelter. Many O&W crossings in towns or other high-traffic locations had crossing guards until the early 1940s.
Band on Main Street, Hurleyville
Meadoff Hotel, Loch Sheldrake
Midwood Hotel, Loch Sheldrake
Morningside House, Hurleyville
"Musshers Alley" at the Casino, Loch Sheldrake. One version of this item is called "Museum Alley" at the Casino. We would like to learn the name by which this area was most generally known.
"Now don't you tell!". This cute card of an illustration of children is not specifically identified with the Town of Fallsburgh, but is typical of postcards of the general timeframe of the other cards in this set that did not have a geographic subject.
Train wreck at Luzon, Feb 13, 1907 (see the note above)
"Off for New York" at Hurleyville station
Loch Sheldrake "Cash Store". Notes on the back of the photo say that this store preceded that of C. P. Low. It was Elmer VanEtten's store in the early 1900s, next to Annie Labagh's on the right.

Post Office, Loch Sheldrake
O&W Station, Hurleyville

Summit House, Henry Hornbeck, Proprietor, Loch Sheldrake
Temperance Bar at the Casino, Loch Sheldrake. While "temperance bar" sounds like a contradiction in terms, during the campaign for prohibition, such oddities were common.
