Short Hotel

Short Hotel

This photograph was a postcard from the 1938 Toccopola Homecoming. At one time the building was owned by the Short family and was operated as a hotel. The Toccopola tennis court (!) was in front of it. My mother, Genera Pickens McCharen, said the "drummer"s (salesmen) stayed in the hotel, as well as other guests visiting Toccopola. I do know it was a residence in 1940's, and not a hotel.
