I vaguely remember the 331 drawbridge when visiting long ago.

I vaguely remember one of those "flying saucer" kind of houses on the south west landing of the old bridge (late 50's ?) where "Baily's", and "Blue Bar", and "Barago's" has been. What was that building before it was "Baily's By the Bay"?
It was hit on more than one occasion and actually killed the bridge master in one of the collisions.
I think it was the residence of the Baileys. I still see and talk to the owner of "Baileys by the Bay" so I will ask her the next time I run into her and let you know.
To be honest, I'm drawing a total blank on the name of the owner of "Bailey's", although I have met her once, but she lived next door. "Bailey's" was something else before that... come on guys, we still have brain cells, right?...
Hee name is Connie Bailey. I can't recall what was there before.
I have a great map of this area, including Freeport, Pt. Washington, Grayton, Seagrove, etc. It's dated 1939, and there is no bridge across the bay. I have it in PDF (7.5MB) and JPG (16.7 MB) but I can't get either one to post on here. I'd love to share this map, so somebody give me clue how to convert it.
Oh that sounds awesome. Jpg will work but need to resize for smaller file size. Kurt?
