The famous Cascade House stood near the east end of the Portage Bridge for over a century. These newspaper articles from the Nunda News document the destruction of the local landmark by fire in 1969.

Man I used to run all over that place as a kid! Letchworth State Park was an hour-ish south of me growing up and my buddies and I would swim and screw-off there all the time!

Letchworth...I know that one too.

I'm new to MDing and have realized...there's more to it than beach combing.

Should have known that.

Thanx again.
