The Algonquin, St. Andrews

St. Andrews in Scotland is known as the “home of golf,” and while the St. Andrews in New Brunswick was not named after the one in Scotland, someone decided to make it into a golf resort as well. They built the Algonquin Hotel, which opened in 1893, and its associated golf course (pictured on the cover of this menu) opened in 1894. Both were purchased by Canadian Pacific in 1903.

This dining car menu is dated July 15, 1934 for a special train of the Massachusetts-Rhode Island Knights Templar taking a trip “through the wonderland of the West” to the Pacific Northwest and Canada. Breakfast included sliced peaches; cereals with cream; a choice of Pacific Coast fish, calf’s liver, or eggs with ham or bacon; potatoes; bread or griddle cakes with maple syrup; and a beverage. The back cover describes the Algonquin and four other Canadian Pacific hotel/resorts in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.

  1. The Algonquin is still there now as a Mariott Autograph Collection property. Haven’t been to St. Andrews in some years, but the town and area are beautiful in the summer and early fall.
