When I watch these videos I sometimes want to imagine what it would look like with people in all those rooms. What it would have looked like while it was still alive, what the environment would be like. I bet it was so cool
OF course it was. I always like to picture these places as they were on opening day. It would be a huge celebration, everything was new. Dreams were made here, people vacationed here. Someone was head of housekeeping and would freak out if there was a messy room or a spill on the carpet. At one time this place was loved and it held grand spirits, the energy from the happy people was absorbed by the place, but now they are long forgotten. The people that once dreamed here are dreams themselves. The person that was responsible for this place that had so much pride in this establishment is a long gone, forgotten memory, maybe wasting away in an old age home...just like this place.
You are veru correct this place is around Cobleskill NY .I went to college there.Ive stsyed at this place 3 times back in 88/89 just before a 20 plus year career in military.This place WAS MAGNIFICENT!! Very old and dated back then BUT everything worked it was so cool to operate those things I grew up with.And the staff had been there for decades and were just great.My God do I miss those days and especially this GREAT SPA. The last time we stayed there , we stayed for 4 days and drunk and listened to the great old stories staff would tell us about the celebrities that came there.I guess Sinatra was a hurricane when drunk and arguing with Eva Gardner!!! I miss those people and times sooo much
I thought the exact same thing. It couldn't have been abandoned just 14 years ago. Everything in there is from the seventies era of time. They would not have used the way old and outdated if it was just recently. And I remember a lot of the things left behind were very old.
This is an ultra-cool exploration, guys. As a child of the 70's and 80's the style of the place brings back memories. A couple of notes from someone who lived through the period: - The telephone switchboard is awesome! The fact that they clung to it unto the 2k's is amazing. BTW, if you've ever seen an old movie in which the character picks up the phone and starts continually pressing he on-hook button, that's to cause the light on the switchboard to flash which indicates that you wish to connect to another party. Normally it would stay on steadily. - The TV rooms were interesting. Every old hotel has one or more rooms in which they've stacked the TV's for some reason. The thing you found which you thought the oldest was, in fact, simply a cathode ray tube from one of the TV's. You'll notice that many of the phones don't have the rotary mechanism for dialing; when you pick up the receiver it causes the aforementioned light to come on on the console. Note that, with the Zenith TV, the quality went in before the name went on (old timers will recognise that phrase ;-) - The beds filled with what appears to be hay are very interesting indeed. They must be *very* old mattresses. - Another thing I notice: At least some of the electrical outlets appear to predate the three-prong standard. This, along with the prehistoric phone system, would seem to indicate a complete lack of desire (and/or money) to modernise. The fact is, very few hotels are at all profitable at the best of times - to paraphrase Richard Branson, if you want to become a millionaire in the hospitality business, start as a billionaire.
@@baybeegalkk Not to mention, crooks and nannies lol. Also, I lived in a house in Mass which had horsehair walls as well. It truly was a grand old place; I love it.
Dennis Eldridge Is mass short for Massachusetts? I live in UK. Haha typo. Meant; ‘nooks & crannies!’ Yes, brilliant craftsmanship from a bygone era. They don’t make them like that anymore ☺️
I would be so scared to go in these places due to running into someone dangerous or that may be hiding out there. You are very brave and thank you so much for sharing these great videos!
You could have thousands of these things for the homeless, yet many will still choose to be on the street. A lot of it is by choice at times, as well as mental illness.
Shit, I'd give up (temporarily) climate-controlled comfort and possibly indoor plumbing (for a minute) to have the privilege of curating some of these magnificent structures. These are our national treasures
Yeah, we loved the smell of that fresh print mimeograph ink...I remember standing in the office waiting for my turn to copy the daily assignment and homework pack..😒 we also went to a school that had yet to be abated and retrofitted for asbestos..😁 🤷♀️🤦♀️
I loved the smell of the mimeographed sheets too! And the rhythmic sound of the drum going round and round was kind of a friendly, familiar whump whump. Sad that all that is gone. It was the manifestation of a safe and prosperous nation.
No - it is NOT a Mimeograph - it is a Spirit Duplicator - which is another type of copy machine. If you remember going to school years ago - you probably received tests "printed" out in a Purplish Blue Color - that smelled like Alcohol (WHich it was). A mimeograph used a "stencil" in which holes were cut into by a TYpewriter or other - and ink flowed through the Stencil to put a "Copy" on a piece of paper. A spirit Duplicator used a carbon sheet to produce a master - (Remember carbon copies). The blank paper was fed past a wick that coated the paper with Alcohol - and the IMAGE on the carbon sheet was literally melted by the alcohol and deposited on the paper. (THere was NO INK used) - this could make around 50 copies from a master before the carbon layer was used up. A mimeograph could make literally thousands of copies.
That’s one enormous creepy place. Thanks for braving the freezing river for such a fantastic explore. Crazy amount of stuff remaining. Sad to see such a once glorious building left to the harsh elements. Loved it ♥️
I’m pretty sure that’s what they used to call a “ditto” machine. When I was a kid in elementary school that’s how the teachers used to make copies for our work sheets and stuff. They would have to leave the classroom and walk to the office to do it and when they would get back and hand out the worksheets they would still be warm. We all used to sniff them cuz the ink smelled good. OMG, I just realized how weird that sounds 🤭 This was back in the 60s and 70s. We didn’t have copy machines in those days. And once again, excellent film work! I just love your work and your respect for all things vintage. I also like that you gave some background information on this site. I know you can’t always do that so it was nice to know the history on this one.
Like that scene in Fast Time at Ridgemont High where the teacher hands out tests and the entire class sniffs them. :D A joke that has to be explained today.
I visited this place about a month ago and we couldn't get in :( it was fenced off and heavily boarded up, surrounded with cameras. It looks like they might try to fix it up or demolish it. Idk. Amazing video btw!
walt winston except for the 24 month’s straight of economic growth... which is still going and Trumps claiming he did it when it has just kept going from the goat I meant Obama
Awesome video! Thank you for exploring this hotel. I’m 44 now, and when I was 5 years old, we had that same Zenith TV. It was really cool to pause the video and show my 11 year old son the TV that I used to watch cartoons on. He said, “Mommy I like the old one better.” This is how I discovered that my son has a huge heart for vintage items just like me. 💗 Way cool!!!
The different variations of mirrored wallpaper are so beautiful Also, I have to edit to say I really enjoyed your calm demeanor and respectful way of looking around. Just exploring.
I've watched a number of your videos. I love how respectful you are when exploring these locations. Most other exploration channels aren't. So, bravo to you, and those you work with. Subscirbed.
A 19" Zenith was my first color TV that I purchased for my young and growing family to enjoy in April of 1978. I served us well for three years before we bought a 25" Zenith so the smaller set went downstairs to see service as our 'den TV'. That 19" Zenith lasted another twenty years being moved one time in 1987. I was amazed at how nicely it performed right up until the sad day that the picture tube failed. We gave the broken set to my younger brother and he repurposed the cabinet to make a custom aquarium from it which he still has.
Love this. It looks more like a very big mansion than a hotel. The rooms have normal windows and the bedrooms look like any bedroom in a house. I love it. I can imagine what beautiful views there would have been looking out the windows. Hotels now just look like a commercial building.
exploring abandoned buildings like hotels bring such a weird sense of existential peace. the shag carpet and moss bit really exhibited life after life and something about that is incredibly soothing to my mortal being. thank u for uploading
Your videos have always been awesome bro, but they always get better and better. I knew your channel would get so much bigger my friend! I subbed back when you only had just over 200 subs and now look at your channel and how much it has grown. Your content is always awesome and you have a very unique and very respectable style. Keep up the great work!
4:33 I'm 50, remembering school back in the days, teachers gave out exercise sheets copied by such a ditto machine. The breath of solvent was very intense. They also had a xerox machine, but this was way cheaper. And... my father was a teacher, he had such a machine at home.
Fantastic video thanks guys and so respectful, sad to see so much vandalism and decay but that one particular room where Mother Nature is taking back the room was amazing to see and sort of beautiful too!! And those roll top baths are worth a small fortune! Stay safe guys, looking forward to your next video👍🏻
Houses an buildings literally die without human beings energy living there and taking care of the property. They die, nature takes over and eventually envelopes the property.
Thank you young guys for showing utmost respect for this amazing explore! Decay is so beautiful on it's own. I would love to give y'all a hug and shake your hand. Y'all give me tons of hope for your generation 🥰
Was once quite a grand place! Great explore. Sad to see all those ‘Blender Fan’ ceiling fans in the ballroom and theatre. They are quite collectible in fan circles.
Still looks solid. Woukd be great to fix that and let homeless people reside there. I wonder why it became abandoned It's so sad that someone's dream became like that in the end
Homeless people would just destroy it a 2nd time, leaving their shit everywhere and just not respecting the property just like they do on skid row and San Fran.
Great find! Totally agree with you on the moss filled room on that upper floor being the best, that mattress, sooo soft. There was definitely some serious ambience in there. Loved your comments. Post apocalyptic said it all. Thanks for taking us along on your tour!
This is the former Adler Hotel Spa. I dont know if you could say it functioned as a hotel in it later years as it was sparsely used and occupied to any real degree at the end. The spring up to 4 different kinds of distinct mineral waters. Activity here goes back to the 1800s. It should be an amazing place to go metal detecting. Especially since over 10k people a year tracked the grounds. Vandals have really helped accelerate deterioration. Investment company bought it. Plan were to restore, but damage is so bad now they might tear most of it down.
Thanks for the info. Yeah def going to have to be torn down and rebuilt if they really wanted to revive it at this point. Place was built right before both my grandmas were born and when both my grandpas were 4-5 years old 😯
Having grown up during the 1970's its very interesting seeing these places fall into decay. Something I never imagined. I remember the styles, patterns, carpets, textiles, clothing and technology very well from when it was in use. Times have changed so much in just a few decades. I think its great that millenials spend the time exploring and bringing these things to share with everyone on youtube. I use to do the same thing when I was a kid. But couldn't share any of my experiences. I use to explore old abandon farm houses in Illinois where I grew up. The sprawling suburbs were are one time a farming community with an occasional house or entire farm still intact from the 1940's. One of the most fascinating things I found once was pictures of the family in the very house we were exploring. I could identify the room they were in by the wall paper in the background of the black and white photo. One place had a huge barn with pens in it. Tons of bones and skulls all over the place where they use to slaughter the live stock. Pigs and cows mostly. All over the property there were bones of all kinds. Still some farm equipment rusting in the fields near by. I'm sure its all gone now.
Thank you for a trip into the past. Love seeing Mother Nature's reclamation. These old mineral springs resorts were the cure-alls of their day...change is inevitable...😷
Because of my OCD, i found out that the hotel closed due to economic downturn. This has been pur hased by a Korean-American company last 2008, & yet still waiting for restoration until now. Opened in 1927, the hotel drew customers through its claims that the sulfurous waters of its baths would relieve symptoms of back pain and skin disorders.
I loved the same room you liked. Every night before I go to sleep I watch your videos. For some reason they are very relaxing. Thank you for doing this.
The close up of of the room starting at 12:17 gave me some super creepy, sad, lonely vibes. Especially when zooming in on the pillow. I’ve never felt vibes so strongly from one of your videos before. 😔
Looks like the resort from the movie Dirty Dancing. I couldn't imagine that place going up in flames. Don't know how long it would take response teams to get there, and if there was water hookup for the fire crews. Steven King could write a novel/novella about that place.
jem 1968 there was another video on this channel where one lady mentioned that was the one from dirty dancing, i dont remember which one but you can google it
@@Julitalicious Nope, the 1986 movie for Dirty Dancing was shot in a hotel in North Carolina, because the hotel the movie was based on, Grossingers, had already closed down. Although the original Grossingers hotel building was erected, and looked similarly to this one, Grossingers expanded into one of the largest hotel and resort complexes in the Catskills area. It was about 15 times the size of this hotel, with a series of interconnected buildings representing the architectural styles of various eras during the hotel's expansion. At the peak of it's success, it was so large, it had a helicopter port and it's own post office. This looks more like the family-run summer boarding houses that were popular in the early 20th century, and later became budget-priced hotels for the lower classes of Jewish vacationers.
Love your videos. You explore very cool abandoned places and you have knowledge about these places, camera work is great not too fast like other explorers 👍
Last week your face was randomly in the Up Next list on the left of my screen. I thought to myself, who's this cute little fella. Well, my friend, I've watched your vids for the past five days. I'm hooked, I've "liked", and I've subscribed. As some one in their late 30's I never knew abandoned places could be so cool and am upset I didn't stumble onto this earlier. I commend you, and your art. Best wishes and safe exploring as I can't wait to see more. Oh, the crazy, retro, silver shine wallpaper in this vid takes me back to my childhood. Sick af.
So, apparently there’s a very common personality trait that compels certain people to travel around(including on a isolated and deeply wooded mountainside) with cases and cases of spray paint.
It's a canvas for a person to do their artwork nwirhout worrying about getting in trouble. Buildings are there to waste anyway and if sold painted or not would be remodeled anyway . Grafitti is a art
Like you said the decay in that place made your day, it did me too, the decay on that bed and in that other room wow, it looked amazing, fantastic video, thank you.
I just wanna add, tho...don’t stop making these videos, sharing the beauty that otherwise would be lost. The moss covered room is amazing and would make some awesome photos!!
Well done! Very nice and steady camera moves, your not panning fast like the other guys, gives us time to take it all in. Looks like kids have had their fun with this place. I agree with you about the room with decay. That was awesome! I love the mold and plants growing from the mattress.
Wow, really cool find man. I'm diggin all that retro wallpaper and carpeting. I really like that switchboard too, after watching your video of the switchboard find at the old horse track I ended up having to track that one down myself. Almost missed it too when I went LOL. You're going to make me track down this switchboard too, I absolutely love finding those!!! Awesome Discovery man, thanks for taking us along and there's always stay safe out there my friend
Hoonozit But I believe this one is older because he was hand cranking it. They called the newer models ditto too remember how the toner gave you a buzz. When the teacher 👩🏫 brought your tests back from the office? 🤣😂🤣
I don't know man, the "mimiographs" I recall were hand cranked as well. The ink used made blue ink copies. I'm talking the nine-sixties early seventies.
In public schools where I'm from (Southern California) in the 1980's they still used these things (or maybe somewhat more automated versions of such). The ink was purple, not black.
The website that has photos of this hotel after it was abandoned are really beautiful in contrast with the strange sadness the photos hold. It must have been something when it opened in the 1920’s. Sad that it didn’t seem to be updated by its closure. Architecture is beautiful, but the decor was not up to date.
I don’t think that is molding on the ceiling rather tin plates sadly painted over. Tin plate ceilings were a mark of luxury once upon a time and had the same shape. Great video! There are two voices that talk after 16:01 till about 20 seconds later. Was someone with you?
Very interesting thank you. All of that old 70’s stuff especially the wallpaper took me back to my childhood days and bought back long forgotten memories. Subscribed
9:44 - that's just the tube that goes in a TV, the casing is missing so no real way to identify the brand. Probably the same as the other TV's stacked up against that wall.
This hotel is way originally opened in 1929. I worked there when I was in high school and so did my parents and my grandparents. It was beautiful in it’s day. It is now way past being restored and one day if not torn down will fall in upon itself.
I find this type of video kind of sad. Do you ever think at one time, this place was someone's pride and joy?
Absolutely it was. Sad to see it in the condition its in. They'd be rolling in their grave. ( assuming they are gone now )
When I watch these videos I sometimes want to imagine what it would look like with people in all those rooms. What it would have looked like while it was still alive, what the environment would be like. I bet it was so cool

any idea why it was abandoned

4:33 I'm 50, remembering school back in the days, teachers gave out exercise sheets copied by such a ditto machine. The breath of solvent was very intense. They also had a xerox machine, but this was way cheaper. And... my father was a teacher, he had such a machine at home.
Man, imagine how glorious this thing was. & how glorious it could be still if fixed up
That TV was not an entire TV that was just the tube basically the inside of old TV's or screen
This is one of the coolest abandoned places I've ever seen. Really enjoyed this video. Good job.
How sad, must have been so Beautiful once !
The mint green 'hospital green' kinda gives the place an eerie mental institution vibe. Ghost Adventures should spend the night here.
Fantastic video thanks guys and so respectful, sad to see so much vandalism and decay but that one particular room where Mother Nature is taking back the room was amazing to see and sort of beautiful too!! And those roll top baths are worth a small fortune! Stay safe guys, looking forward to your next video👍🏻
Houses an buildings literally die without human beings energy living there and taking care of the property.
They die, nature takes over and eventually envelopes the property.
A duhhhh that's why its called decay
@Wild Ramble Haha, yes with plant life!
Thank you young guys for showing utmost respect for this amazing explore! Decay is so beautiful on it's own. I would love to give y'all a hug and shake your hand. Y'all give me tons of hope for your generation 🥰
Was once quite a grand place! Great explore. Sad to see all those ‘Blender Fan’ ceiling fans in the ballroom and theatre. They are quite collectible in fan circles.
Fan circles exist? I think that’s pretty adorable.
Still looks solid. Woukd be great to fix that and let homeless people reside there.
I wonder why it became abandoned
It's so sad that someone's dream became like that in the end
Mary Rose Caleze I think the boss just died😢 But it is really sad. This could be such a besutifull hotel
@@Itsme-kv8cg 👍
It's true,homeless people can reside
Homeless people would just destroy it a 2nd time, leaving their shit everywhere and just not respecting the property just like they do on skid row and San Fran.
I agree
I'm pretty sure that tv that couldn't be identified was just a removed crt tube.
Jones 870 it was
Just the glass part on the inside of the tv - so no wooden casing - I thought the same too😂
Thank you for sharing what you find. And thank you for respecting everything in it. You are truly an explorer. Great job!
Great find! Totally agree with you on the moss filled room on that upper floor being the best, that mattress, sooo soft. There was definitely some serious ambience in there. Loved your comments. Post apocalyptic said it all. Thanks for taking us along on your tour!
This is the former Adler Hotel Spa. I dont know if you could say it functioned as a hotel in it later years as it was sparsely used and occupied to any real degree at the end. The spring up to 4 different kinds of distinct mineral waters. Activity here goes back to the 1800s. It should be an amazing place to go metal detecting. Especially since over 10k people a year tracked the grounds. Vandals have really helped accelerate deterioration. Investment company bought it. Plan were to restore, but damage is so bad now they might tear most of it down.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adler_Hotel
I figured it out when I saw the building..
I've always wanted to see the inside, but I don't do urbex.
Thanks for the info. Yeah def going to have to be torn down and rebuilt if they really wanted to revive it at this point. Place was built right before both my grandmas were born and when both my grandpas were 4-5 years old 😯
Having grown up during the 1970's its very interesting seeing these places fall into decay. Something I never imagined. I remember the styles, patterns, carpets, textiles, clothing and technology very well from when it was in use. Times have changed so much in just a few decades. I think its great that millenials spend the time exploring and bringing these things to share with everyone on youtube. I use to do the same thing when I was a kid. But couldn't share any of my experiences. I use to explore old abandon farm houses in Illinois where I grew up. The sprawling suburbs were are one time a farming community with an occasional house or entire farm still intact from the 1940's. One of the most fascinating things I found once was pictures of the family in the very house we were exploring. I could identify the room they were in by the wall paper in the background of the black and white photo. One place had a huge barn with pens in it. Tons of bones and skulls all over the place where they use to slaughter the live stock. Pigs and cows mostly. All over the property there were bones of all kinds. Still some farm equipment rusting in the fields near by. I'm sure its all gone now.
Thank you for a trip into the past. Love seeing Mother Nature's reclamation. These old mineral springs resorts were the cure-alls of their day...change is inevitable...😷
I enjoy your posts... you’re so respectful of the places you visit.. nice narration as well. Total class act!!
If this was in California, it’d be a homeless compound.
I have watched your whole channel and loved every one... so fascinating and well done...
Because of my OCD, i found out that the hotel closed due to economic downturn. This has been pur hased by a Korean-American company last 2008, & yet still waiting for restoration until now.
Opened in 1927, the hotel drew customers through its claims that the sulfurous waters of its baths would relieve symptoms of back pain and skin disorders.
Explains the free bath 😂😂
Vrndavan Das Arzadon what the name of the motel
Sorry for asking such a thing but what kind of OCD do you have
@@simonnjage5728 Nothing is free. The bath is built into the price. "Free" is just a gimmick.
Great video! By the way, I just love the sound of your voice and delivery. Very soothing. Thanks for the adventure! Stay safe.
Amazing how buildings “die” in a short period of time
I loved the same room you liked. Every night before I go to sleep I watch your videos. For some reason they are very relaxing. Thank you for doing this.
Looks like a Last of us cenario. Beatiful,but sad in same time.
Manolo Carvalho good description
The close up of of the room starting at 12:17 gave me some super creepy, sad, lonely vibes. Especially when zooming in on the pillow. I’ve never felt vibes so strongly from one of your videos before. 😔
Im happy I could touch you so much, also sorry for making you feel that way lol.
Looks like the resort from the movie Dirty Dancing. I couldn't imagine that place going up in flames. Don't know how long it would take response teams to get there, and if there was water hookup for the fire crews. Steven King could write a novel/novella about that place.
jem 1968 there was another video on this channel where one lady mentioned that was the one from dirty dancing, i dont remember which one but you can google it
google for "Grossinger's Catskill Resort Hotel"
@@Julitalicious Nope, the 1986 movie for Dirty Dancing was shot in a hotel in North Carolina, because the hotel the movie was based on, Grossingers, had already closed down. Although the original Grossingers hotel building was erected, and looked similarly to this one, Grossingers expanded into one of the largest hotel and resort complexes in the Catskills area. It was about 15 times the size of this hotel, with a series of interconnected buildings representing the architectural styles of various eras during the hotel's expansion. At the peak of it's success, it was so large, it had a helicopter port and it's own post office. This looks more like the family-run summer boarding houses that were popular in the early 20th century, and later became budget-priced hotels for the lower classes of Jewish vacationers.
I believe that it would have been beautiful in it’s heyday. I love the pressed metal ceilings and the gorgeous bath tubs.
The “oldest” tv you found was just the tube removed from the box, probably the same as all the others.
Love your videos. You explore very cool abandoned places and you have knowledge about these places, camera work is great not too fast like other explorers 👍
Evidence someone had been there recently: Someone wrote 2019 on the mirror at 18:56.
Oh snap...
Last week your face was randomly in the Up Next list on the left of my screen. I thought to myself, who's this cute little fella. Well, my friend, I've watched your vids for the past five days. I'm hooked, I've "liked", and I've subscribed. As some one in their late 30's I never knew abandoned places could be so cool and am upset I didn't stumble onto this earlier. I commend you, and your art. Best wishes and safe exploring as I can't wait to see more. Oh, the crazy, retro, silver shine wallpaper in this vid takes me back to my childhood. Sick af.
BTW if you're ever in Louisville, KY I want to go with and may know of some cool spots. Be well!
What’s the scariest thing y’all have ever experienced when exploring an abandoned building???
I don't think so, ppl left their marks and still in use as den.
bhargav samant huhhh??
👍⚘
So, apparently there’s a very common personality trait that compels certain people to travel around(including on a isolated and deeply wooded mountainside) with cases and cases of spray paint.
Yeah I've never understood the need to spray paint abandoned buildings. It's a very odd thing to do.
It's a canvas for a person to do their artwork nwirhout worrying about getting in trouble. Buildings are there to waste anyway and if sold painted or not would be remodeled anyway . Grafitti is a art
Abandoned for only 14 years? This place must have looked in very poor condition even before closing.
Not 14years,it was abandoned still 20years

Like you said the decay in that place made your day, it did me too, the decay on that bed and in that other room wow, it looked amazing, fantastic video, thank you.
So excited to see this in my fed. I thought you stopped making vids.
I just wanna add, tho...don’t stop making these videos, sharing the beauty that otherwise would be lost. The moss covered room is amazing and would make some awesome photos!!
"thats exactly how I like it, stuff is getting really post-apocalyptic real quick." Me too my friend, me too.
Abandoned hotels are my favorite for sure. I loved the history given and the room with the moss covered floor was amazing! Great vid
I was half expecting Jack Nicholson to appear with an ax.
Good one, you got me👍
Axe not ax
Same here...And Wendy yelling and running carrying a baseball bat..lol
😂
Right! When they show that hallway I was like oh my god the shining.
I can hear the spirits conversating in the background....great explore! Thx for doin it :)
I'll bet this place was a nice place to stay back in it's heyday.
I enjoy watching videos on RUclips about abandoned houses and abandoned cinemas.
Would love to go metal detecting on the grounds.
Well done! Very nice and steady camera moves, your not panning fast like the other guys, gives us time to take it all in. Looks like kids have had their fun with this place. I agree with you about the room with decay. That was awesome! I love the mold and plants growing from the mattress.
In the 70 my family went to some hotels. Last summer I drove around the Catskills hoping to do what you did but it's not easy to find them as you did.
Wow, really cool find man. I'm diggin all that retro wallpaper and carpeting.
I really like that switchboard too, after watching your video of the switchboard find at the old horse track I ended up having to track that one down myself. Almost missed it too when I went LOL. You're going to make me track down this switchboard too, I absolutely love finding those!!!
Awesome Discovery man, thanks for taking us along and there's always stay safe out there my friend
This looks exactly how the hotel in The Last Of Us did. I wonder if the used this place as inspiration.
Very Cool. Enjoy watching your explorations! Thank You!
We used to have a hotel like this in my hometown it was called “The Glen Spring s Hotel”.
what an awesome explore, all the natural light mixed with the natural decay inside must have made for some beautiful pictures
Stellar spot dude 👌 always with the legit explores you dudes stay safe out there man
Great video! Thanks again for another wonderful adventure!!
This is the Adler Spa Hotel in Sharon Springs New York..
Arthur Carroll doesn’t come up in google??
@@fathemafarjana2343 Because it's been closed for years.
Thanks 🙏 for your work. And the time you put in. And the respect you show. From England 🏴
"Rexograph" a copy machine. Looks like what I remember being call a mimiograph.
Hoonozit
But I believe this one is older because he was hand cranking it.
They called the newer models ditto too remember how the toner gave you a buzz. When the teacher 👩🏫 brought your tests back from the office?
🤣😂🤣
I don't know man, the "mimiographs" I recall were hand cranked as well. The ink used made blue ink copies. I'm talking the nine-sixties early seventies.
In public schools where I'm from (Southern California) in the 1980's they still used these things (or maybe somewhat more automated versions of such). The ink was purple, not black.
Geotpf
Ours were purple too and much more automated.
@@Geotpf
I worked in Burbank in the early nineties and we were still using them in schools there.
Its so sad to see what people have done to such a beautiful building! Thanks for sharing this with us! I look forward to more.
The new green carpet growing is classic! This place is the essence of apocalyptic vibes.
The website that has photos of this hotel after it was abandoned are really beautiful in contrast with the strange sadness the photos hold. It must have been something when it opened in the 1920’s. Sad that it didn’t seem to be updated by its closure. Architecture is beautiful, but the decor was not up to date.
I don’t think that is molding on the ceiling rather tin plates sadly painted over. Tin plate ceilings were a mark of luxury once upon a time and had the same shape. Great video! There are two voices that talk after 16:01 till about 20 seconds later. Was someone with you?
Very interesting thank you. All of that old 70’s stuff especially the wallpaper took me back to my childhood days and bought back long forgotten memories. Subscribed
9:44 - that's just the tube that goes in a TV, the casing is missing so no real way to identify the brand. Probably the same as the other TV's stacked up against that wall.
This hotel is way originally opened in 1929. I worked there when I was in high school and so did my parents and my grandparents. It was beautiful in it’s day. It is now way past being restored and one day if not torn down will fall in upon itself.
The stacks of tvs make me think someone was trying to record a music video. Like old school MTV...
Awesome video!! Super cool!!!! Thanks for exploring!
This reminds me I need to clean my apartment! Always nice with a reminder!
you have lovely voice and great camera work - how you linger on certain shots gives me a Silent Hill vibe
My house is three years old. I’M DEFINITELY COMING BACK WHEN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD SHUTS DOWN
