ON his birthday in 1910, Pete Larson opened his pop-
ular Canyon View Hotel (right), situated immediately
east of the present site of Cleveland Dam. For sever-
al yeers during the 1940s it became Taunton House
School, a private school for girls (ebove). Later used
as a boarding house for. water board employees, it
was demolished in 1952, two years before the dam's

official opening.
