Yes....the OCS did sell mostly women's clothing on the second floor, and I actually worked there my 3rd summer, having gone through the ranks of the penny candy counter first summer, cheese counter 2nd summer, and clothing 3rd summer. I wonder if we knew each other, Kate T? My friend Diane and I spent a lot of time chatting with counselors from local boys camps, which did not please Mr. St. Clair.....we did more chatting than selling!

Redwing- You and my sister Diane sure made the most of every summer during your earlier years. I certainly remember that the both of you always had great fun!

And who could ever forget Camp Leweschni? I wonder if it is still in existence? Does anyone remember the Coffee Shop that was next to/part of the Old Country Store, which Dick Tower managed? After I had my fix of penny candy at the OCS every day, I would get my daily ice cream fix from the coffee shop. I think I ate most of Mr. St. Clair's profits.

Summerfields was the restaurant in the barn attached in back.
At one time in the main building I think I remember there was a restaurant named Hathaway House. I remember the clothing displayed in the front windows, when no longer a restaurant.
At one more recent time, there was a florist, that used the main building and a quasi green house on foundation of the burned Summerfield's.
More memories: Curt & Joanne Chesley of Curt's Caterers both worked there. I'm sure their menus started evolving for the catering business.

There is so little land on the DD side, I wonder how buyer can utilize the building; for those who do not know, there is for sale sign in front.

Hathaway house was also owned for several years by Mark Packard (white Diamond Inn) and Malcolm Knowles (formerly owned Kellers ice cream and restaurant)
They had the best veal oscar on the planet....used white asparagus.....yum
