We know that Triple -o- Lodge opened in 1952 and was sold in 1958. That’s the same time Dam View Motel started showing up in newspapers. We’ve concluded all three images are the same spot. Bottom photo shows what’s left of it today in Forsyth across from the Taney County Jail

Triple -O- Lodge. Forsyth, Missouri
1952 “The Triple O Lodge Courts
Opened recently. They are very pretty and will be a drawing card
for the sight-seeing tourist because of the wonderful view they afford the guests, overlooking Bull Shoals Lake and Powersite Dam.” - from the 6/29/1952 Taney County Republican

The Silver Dollar City Frisco Line in the mid 1960’s. This was when the train ran in the opposite direction as it does now. Shortly after leaving the station, you’ll see this “canyon” on your left. This is where passengers used to walk down these steps to board the train. The station is now the building occupied by Miss Kate’s Quilts. This was also before wearing pajamas in public was acceptable.
