Cherry Hill House, Ellenville (New York)
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
