An undated postcard Hillside Inn. Caption on back reads:

Dinners and Lunches. Choice wines, liquors and beers. Tourists and vacationists accommodated by day or week. Alfred H. Wolff. Prop. Phone: Barryville, NY 2749

The Hillside Inn was formerly Metzgers Dance Hall and Bowling Alley.

It was located across from the now existing Yulan Firehouse.

To the far right of the building was a bar. Eventually, the state made them close down the dance hall. Fred Metzger turned it into the Hillside Inn. Eventually it was sold to Winsch(not sure of the spelling) & Schmidt.

Alcohol was being serverd during prohibition times.

Approx. in 1941, there was a skating rink.

In 1947, Alfred & Helen Wolff, Walter Metzger's cousins, bought and ran the Hillside Inn as a resturant.

After Alfred Wolff passed away, his widow sold the Hillside Inn to another party and it burned down later.
