6 | <strong>01907</strong> A ride down Memory Lane The curious history of the "Ocean House" Apparently, having an establishment with the name of "ocean house" in Swampscott wasn't very lucky in the 19th and 20th centuries. The last structure with that name was "the New Ocean House," which is a large hotel/resort on Puritan Road. Its final refurbishing was completed in 1961. Just eight years later, it was engulfed by flames and destroyed. Its only visible remnant is the cement exedra seat on the opposite side of the street where the swimming pool had been. Tragedy on the tracks David, Walter, Barry and David For a small community with a reputation of being among the original resort towns, Swampscott has had its share of citizens hit the heights. Walter Brennan was a film and TV star who achieved fame in the film "My Darlin' Clementine," one of the many biopics about the legendary lawman Wyatt Earp. Then there's Fran Sheehan and Barry Goudreau, both founding members of the group Boston, which set the standard (at the time) for debut rock 'n' roll albums. Also on the list is David Portnoy, aka "El Presidente," who founded Barstool Sports. How about David Lee Roth? Yes, the former lead singer for Van Halen made a brief pitstop in Swampscott among his many homes. Roth was long gone by the time he graduated from high school, however. Roth also went solo, and one of his big hits was the old standard "Just a Gigolo." It was Feb. 28, 1956 — a snowy, wintry, messy day. Train 214 twice had to stop on its way from Portsmouth, N.H. to Boston due to foul weather. However, when it stopped a third time — near the Essex Street bridge — because the track signal was covered by snow, disaster struck. A train heading from Danvers rounded the corner between the Salem and Swampscott stations. By the time the conductor saw the signals, it was too late. The resulting crash, in which the Danvers train rammed the rear car of No. 214 and pushed it 50 feet forward and caused it to ride up and over the front car of the Buddliner, resulted in 13 deaths and about 100 injuries. Carol Brady was from Swampscott That is correct. Carol Brady, one of America's iconic TV moms, was played by Florence Henderson on "The Brady Bunch." In one episode, "A Fistful of Reasons," Cindy, the youngest daughter, is being teased and bullied in school because she has a lisp. When Carol tries to comfort her, she recounts a story about how she, too, had the same problem trying to overcome her own lisp while growing up in Swampscott, Mass. "The Brady Bunch" aired from 1969-1974.
