This hotel operated for a number of years in the mid-1900's. It's main attraction was a natural mineral spring, and kept the look of a 70's hotel. It closed down just a few years ago, as the towns surrounding it in the Mohawk Valley became ghost towns. The property was recently purchased with the intention of renovation, but the building still stands vacant.
Why do we explore? My personal reason is to find the ruins of a better, simpler time. Ruins tell stories that people never could. Walls, halls, and doorways speak volumes of their pasts. By covering these grounds and finding these ruins, I am allowing them to tell me their tales; By photographing them I preserve them forever, like books. The purpose is simple: To take a step into history, and go where few dare to go anymore in search of the memories and knowledge of a better time.
