Shadow Rock in Old Forsyth in the 1950’s and Shadow Rock now abandoned in 2017. The last photo shown is a postcard from 1956 which indicates the “Hotel” had The Flamingo Dining Room and the Circle Bar Tavern on premise. I look for another change in the near future. In the first shot you can see the motel being built.
Back in 2012, that’s almost six years ago, in September, representatives of Pensco Trust and Lincoln Trust stopped by to take a look at Shadow Rock Lodge located at the junction of Hwy 160 and 76 just outside of Forsyth, Mo. acquired the building and have already put a new roof on the building they plan to completely refurbish by 2012. Included in the sale was the motel/motor lodge that has been deemed structurally unsound and which in all likelihood will be razed to the ground.
According a Taney Times article published on December 28, 2011; Forsyth Mayor, Ron Potter stated that the two trust firms envision an open air restaurant on top of the lodge that would attract motorcycle and eco-travelers throughout the region.
From my point of view it’s completely pie in the sky, I think I saw a for sale sign on the property.
