While conducting research recently, I found the following photographs which are no doubt personal photographs and show the Wrather family (Chris, Jack III, undientified lady) at the Disneyland Hotel during construction and very early on (my guess 1955 or 1956). These are very unique and rare photographs and I hope to find more of them.
Photo shows Jackie Wrather and the power lines at the south end of the Hotel property
Photo shows Chris and Linda Wrather with unidentified lady at the original structures at the Disneyland Hotel. This five building complex housed the very first guests at the Original Disneyland Hotel and were built in 1955.
I just noticed I had the original photograph that was used for this postcard however this one is black & white.
Photo below shows construction on the restaurant/administrative wing of the Hotel which would have been late 1955 to early 1956. The station wagon that Chris and Jackie are standing next do is the same one that is on the Disneyland Hotel postcard which I will add at the bottom of this thread.
