2. Newberry Market; NOW, Deel Plumbing

      In the 1930's this was known as "The Cliff House" It sported a gas station - cafe - cabins for rent - general store - post office - public swimming pool - flag stop for both Greyhound and Continental Trailways bus lines - and the location of the only telephone in the community until the mid 1950's. The phone was an old wooden box with a crank on the side to ring the bell. It had a mouth piece in the front and the separate ear piece hung from the cradle. Newberry was one long and one short ring. The Cliff House was a welcome shady rest stop for travelers along RT. 66.

      Walk around the East side of the building and a short way up the drive. Look ahead and up to the right. On the side of the hill you will see one of the remaining stone water tanks used to service the facility prior to pressure tanks and submersible pumps.
