1950's aerial view of the Grand Hotel at Point Clear, Alabama

Description

Aerial view of the Grand Hotel at Point Clear in the late 1950's. The main building has three wings, allowing many bayside views. The large pool opened in 1947, along with the first 18 holes of golf. Ten cottages opened in the mid-1950's adjacent to the bay, lagoon and grand pool. The marina has been expanded and has a boat house. The Grand's fishing pier and two tennis courts are on the south side. Julep Point is the pavilion on top of the "Great Point Clear" tip of land jutting out into Mobile Bay. Note the relatively new 18-hole golf course past the trees, which opened for play in 1947.
