Olympic Village Moved to Laguna

Grandpa bought at least one of the Olympic Cottages.  I read somewhere he bought a few and used them somehow, but I didn’t find anything to be clear.  He placed the cottage off the highway.  As you look at the photo, you can see it on the land where the liquor store now sits.  How did Grandpa know to buy this block of land across from the hotel back in 1929?  They had the depression to wrestle with back then.  It wasn’t until the ’50s and a major fire that Grandpa built the liquor store, thus moving the cottage off of PCH on to Mountain Rd.  This cottage was leased several times; I have an article I need to find that a movie star opened a Hawaiian dress shop here.  Thank you Carolyn Hobert Fisch for finding this great old article and a great thanks to your dad for saving it.
