This place was unreal. It's a complete resort, built almost 100 years ago, located in the Catskills Mtns of New York in New Paltz. Its grounds cover 10 square miles, and the building is huge and awesome. I don't think my entire town has that many porches!

Nice pictures. I really like the first one and the one looking up the stairs. I love pictures that look up staircases, especially spiral ones. Thanks for sharing!

that's a beautiful building -- imagine the stories it could tell..

That is a gorgeous building, you did a good job capturing its atmosphere. Like ohh shesus, I like the first and fifth, but I especially like the B&W perspective shot.

Those are nice pictures of a place where I've actually been. Did you get a chance to hike around Minnewaska? There's a nice lake there and a couple hikes with interesting views.

No, unfortunately, we were only there for the afternoon for my cousin's wedding and at over $300 a night, had no intentions of staying over! I ended up with 82 pictures of the buildings and grounds, and lost the rest of the wedding guests a couple of times because I kept wandering off to take pictures
