Dr. Pendleton’s Hospital
225 Salmon Brook Street
This House:
In 1921, Dr. Ernest Raymond Pendleton bought the Korper place to build a community hospital, which operated from 1921 to 1928. There were also nurses' quarters on site. After the hospital ceased operations, Dr. Pendleton was the Granby town doctor until 1946.
Even More:
It was sold to a Dr. Chatfield in 1900 and was used as a summer home until 1915 when it was purchased by Leslie Korper, along with much of what is now Salmon Brook Park. Korper had a milking herd and an ice house. He also owned Granby Supply Co. (c1918-1928) and was driven into Hartford every day by his chauffer in a Winton car. [Winton cars were manufactured in Cleveland, Ohio between 1896-1903.]

In 1930 the building became a hotel, the Granby Terrace Inn. Pendleton also developed a 27-hole golf course on what is now Salmon Brook Park. It was the Salmon Brook Country Club and extended from Salmon Brook Park, across the brook to Barn Door Hills Road. It had a “ladies-only course” near the present-day tennis courts. In 1932, he also built “attractive and unique log cabins for summer homes” on what is now Pendleton Road.
