Rotunda of the Breakers Hotel

The five-story Rotunda of the lobby of the Breakers Hotel provided a place for guests to relax and enjoy the hotel. Wicker furniture was imported from Europe. The Rotunda was also the scene of entertainment including impromptu concerts from Metropolitan Opera stars such as Enrico Caruso, who stopped at Cedar Point on their way to Chicago for the Met's summer season.

Dredging the Cedar Point Lagoons

This picture shows the men of the Detroit Dredging Company hand digging lagoons for owner George A. Boeckling at Cedar Point. The lagoon network would be used for transportation so that visitors could reach the boat docks at the Hotel Breakers. They also made it possible to carry coal to the new electric power station. Visitors could also enjoy traveling the lagoons by themselves.
