Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. BROORR_181127_150.JPG: The lines for the bathrooms. This one was a much more relevant approach -- short line for men's, long line for women's, and another line for the dogs at the fire hydrant.
2. BROORR_181127_158.JPG: They had basically no black figurines in last year's display so they tried harder this time.
3. BROORR_181127_177.JPG: The Baltzley "Castle" In the 1890's [sic], the two Baltzley brothers invented a splashless egg beater and became rich. They speculated in real estate along the Potomac River, building this stone castle as well as the "Charles Castle" next door to attract buyers. They founded the Glen Echo Chautauqua as well as the Glen Echo trolley line, but during the park's first season, there was a rumor that the water in the C&O Canal caused malaria. The Chautauqua failed, the Baltzleys went bankrupt, selling the Chautauqua to the trolley company which turned it into an amusement park. Their castle fell into disrepair. It has recently been restored, and now sits grandly above the old trolley route.
4. BROORR_181127_182.JPG: The Union Arch Bridge Civil War engineer General Montgomery Meigs built the bridge in 1870 to carry water from Great Falls over Cabin John Creek to the City of Washington. Its dramatic span was the largest stone arch bridge in the world and allowed limited two-way vehicular traffic. In the 1970s it was widened to include a bike path. Now it is known to commuters as the infamous "one-lane bridge." The Cabin John Trolley ended here on a turn-around loop. In 1890 an elaborate cast iron footbridge crossed to a spectacular riverside resort where John Philip Sousa and his uniformed musicians introduced the "Washington Post March."
5. BROORR_181127_188.JPG: The Cabin John Hotel This 1880's [sic] Victorian extravagance was at the end of the trolley line and was Washington's finest vacation resort. Guests came to marvel at the spectacular stone bridge across the creek, enjoy a scenic amusement park, and dining and dancing to John Philip Sousa's famous band. The hotel declined during Prohibition and burned to the ground in 1938.
6. BROORR_181127_199.JPG: They had water dripping problems
