By Dick Duez on November 05, 2023 from History Blog via Connect-Bridgeport.com

Do some of these men look familiar? Several members of the Compton family are pictured along with others in this decades old photo from the eating section of the Compton Bowling Alley. If you can identify them, please list below in the comment section.
This is the Cozy Rest Cottages and Restaurant from Taylor County - four miles west of Grafton. The ad for this described it as the "largest court-air conditioned furnace heated-tub or shower." Anyone with information on this blast from the past is welcome to comment below.
 
Editor's Note: This ongoing photo feature of pictures from Bridgeport and throughout the Mountain State is part of local historian Richard "Dick" Duez's collection, the unofficial historian of Bridgeport, would appreciate any scanned photos emailed to him for use here or to include in his ongoing efforts to preserve local history. You can email photos, or let him know how to acquire copies of photos you may have in your possession, to Duez at dickdo@citynet.net.
