Description
"The Phoenix Hotel, on East Grand Avenue Extension, was operated by James Hayes from 1920 until his death. Robert Domigue, in his book, "The Village of Cockell," related that Mr. Hayes had the habit of sleeping in the barn with his horse. One evening in August 1939, the barn floor collapsed and Mr. Hayes and his horse fell through. The old gentleman, age eighty-nine, died as a result of the accident. The Phoenix was the only Scarborough hotel of its day that advertised being open all year long."
