For the most recent photo, Jay Altman of Columbia, S.C. wrote: “This was the Chesterfield Inn, a historic hotel located on Ocean Boulevard in Myrtle Beach,S.C. The Inn consisted of two three-story, rectangular buildings constructed in 1946 and 1965. The 1946 building was of frame construction with a brick veneer exterior, with an end to front gable roof, and a raised basement foundation. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. It was removed from the list in October, 2013 after being demolished to make way for a miniature golf course in 2012.mOf all the travesties, this historic building was demolished to make room for a mini-golf course! Karma intervened when the mini-golf course closed in 2017.” The photo recently appeared in StatehouseReport.com.
Also recognizing this structure were George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; Stew Ogilvie, Lawrewnceville; Lou Camerio of Lilburn (“Can you believe it was torn down to be replaced by a miniature golf course?”) and Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex.
