2nd Indian Rock Hotel @ Wissahickon Valley Park Philadelphia, PA

Where was the 2nd Indian Rock Hotel located. There are no markers that I know of at the site. You will need an old map and maybe some help from a historian for this one. I would recommend the second option. The only clue I could find on the internet was that the hotel was located at base of Monastery Ave. That sounds easy to find. Not really. You can't use a modern map. You have to remember that Henry Ave didn't exist at that time. Monastery Ave ends at Henry Ave on today's map. Monastery Ave used to extend all the way to Forbidden Drive. The old Monastery Ave had some major curves.

Here is my image of what the site used to look like.

Here is what the site looks like today.
