Quick Facts

History & Context

A Vacation With Endless Possibilities Myrtle Beach took a giant step forward in 1925 when John T. Woodside, a wealthy textile magnate from Greenville, devised a plan to turn the promising resort into a playground for the rich and famous. Woodside purchased a vast tract of land from the Burroughs and quickly set to work building the luxurious Ocean Forest Hotel. Featuring chandeliers and an enormous ballroom, this classic high-rise was indisputably the most elegant building most Horryites had ever seen. (The Ocean Forest was demolished in 1974.) Unfortunately, Woodside's most ambitious plan, Arcady a recreational showplace for the wealthy never became a reality, as the stock market crash of 1929 ushered in the Great Depression. Even so, the area continued to grow- albeit slowly.
