Ellenville, Cherry Hill House

Ellenville, Cherry Hill House

A thoughtful person (thank you, Bonnie!) gave us this information:  “A Jewish immigrant, Phillip Cooper, owned Cherry Hill House hotel at 36 Frog Hollow Rd., Greenfield Park, about 5 miles north of Ellenville, NY (where he lived).  It was originally a farm which Phillip bought with one or more of his half brothers.  He later bought out his brothers and built up the hotel into a successful Kosher establishment.  Phillip called the hotel “Cherry Hill” because the land had cherry trees on it.  The hotel was owned by Phillip and his wife Sara’s brother (according to a hotel postcard, it was owned by “Trachtenberg & Cooper”).   Today the hotel is an orthodox Jewish camp, called Camp Ohr Shraga.”  Google that for contact information.  But we have this unused card.  Grade: 1
