Need a room for the night? Half of these six rooms along the west wall were originally guestrooms for visitors, complete with mirror, sink, bunkbed, and fireplace. Staff stayed in the other three rooms.

Starting in 1950, the rooms all became onsite quarters for the Fred Harvey Company employees. A head Harvey Girl acted as watchful den mother to ensure proper conduct. This room was occupied by Rachel Ramirez (photo below and right) and a second Girl. Harvey Girl Rachel Ramirez stands outside quarters, 1950s.
