Motel’s Contact Details

Overview

The Showboat Motel opened in 1958, starting first with the creekside building, constructed to resemble an early 20th century showboat. The idea to build a motel reminscent of a Showboat came from Norma Broome. Norma and Harold Broome met in New York City where Norma worked as a Rockette. Listed on her resume was her performance in the Broadway production titled "Showboat". Norma and Harold were originally residents of Webster NY, a suburb of Rochester. Having seen the beautiful and tranquil serenity of the Finger Lakes area, it was only a matter of time until Harold and Norma left the big city.
