I have taken an interest in the Harvey operation. Have been educating my friends and we sought out two old buildings here in Kansas linked to the operation. Odd how my interest coincided with this thread.
Going to forward all the info. I remember my parents mentioning Harvey girls a time or two.
The house in Las Vegas, NM is still standing but basically abandoned last time I was there in 1995. Las Vegas is also home to the Rough Rider Museum. The one in Barstow is a railroad museum and Route 66 museum. Did you know all the linen was washed in Kansas City? They had a coffee cup code to speed up serving when the passengers arrived. They had a young man at the tracks hitting a large Chinese gong when the train approached to warn the staff. Just a few of the things I remember.
