Sunbeam Farm, interior; 5

The Sunbeam Inn operated from the 1920's until 1955. It consisted of the main building, which housed a dining room and dance floor, a vegetable stand, a barn and greenhouse, and Gerould's Ice Cream Shop.

In 1957 restauranteur Anthony Athanas purchased the property and opened the General Glover Restaurant on the site. The General Glover remained open until the late 1990's.

This photo shows the dance floor, on the second floor of the Sunbeam Inn. The interior walls are painted with designs of trees and grass, and the ceiling features a canopy with circular designs. Chairs are arranged along the wall with a piano in the background.
