Berkeley Springs is a town in and the county seat of Morgan County, West Virginia, United States, in the state’s Eastern Panhandle. The town is incorporated as Bath, but it is often referred to by the name of its post office, Berkeley Springs. In 1748, George Washington, then just 16 years old, was part of the survey party that surveyed the Eastern Panhandle region for Thomas Fairfax, 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron. He later returned several times over the next several years with his half-brother, Lawrence, who was ill and hoped that the warm springs might improve his health. The springs, and their rumored medicinal benefits, attracted numerous Aboriginal Americans as well as Europeans to the area. While vacationing in the area in 1767, Washington made note of how busy the town had become. Lord Fairfax had built a summer home there and a "private bath" making the area a popular destination for Virginia’s social elite.

With the advent of independence, the Virginia Legislature established a town around the spring in December 1776. The town was officially named Bath, in honour of England’s spa city of Bath. Bath’s population increased during and immediately after the Revolutionary War as wounded soldiers and others came to the area believing that the warm springs had medicinal qualities. Bath gained a reputation as a somewhat wild town where eating, drinking, dancing and, gambling on the daily horse races were the order of the day.

George Washington, his family members and several of the mew republic’s elite were among the town’s first landowners. The main north-south street was named Washington and its main east-west street was named Fairfax. Also, four acres were set aside for "suffering humanity." The area around the springs was always public ground known as The Grove and overseen by a state appointed group of Berkeley Springs Trustees. The historic park with its springs and bathhouses was made part of the West Virginia state park system in 1925. Berkeley Springs is a noted arts community with working artists accounting for approximately 1% of the county population of 16,000. Since 1994, the town has been listed in all four editions of John Villani’s "100 Best Art Towns in America," one of only 11 towns so rated.

This is the Gentleman’s Spring (in the foreground) and the Roman Bath House; the bath house is the oldest public building in Berkeley Springs and was built around 1815 on the site of a 1784 structure that housed five bathing chambers and dressing rooms.

Warm Spring Run is an 11.9-mile-long (19.2 km) non-navigable tributary stream of the Potomac River in Morgan County of West Virginia’s Eastern Panhandle. It rises on the eastern side of Warm Springs Ridge (1,115 feet) and parallels U.S. Route 522 for most of its course. Warm Spring Run enters the Potomac River at Hancock. Warm Spring Run is primarily fed by springs on Warm Springs Ridge, the most well-known of these being the springs at Berkeley Springs State Park in Berkeley Springs through which it flows.

Pulaski is a small village (population 2200) located in the eastern portion of Oswego County, three miles east of Lake Ontario. It was settled in 1804. The early settlers were attracted to the area by the bounti-ful forests and the abundant water power for mills. In addition, the Salmon River was a source of fresh water salmon which became an important commodity in trading. When Pulaski was finally incorporated as a village in 1832 there were numerous saw mills, shingle mills, and wood-working establishments. The dense forests, however, hindered travel and there were no convenient trails from Oswego to Pulaski. Therefore, when the county was created in 1816 it became one of the few half-shire counties in the state. Pulaski became the seat for government in the east while Oswego governed the western half of the county.

A great fire in 1881 destroyed nearly all of the central portion of the town. Within a year, however, the merchants rebuilt their businesses in varied designs but predominantly in the Italianate style. The entire two-block commercial area is characterized by two and three story brick buildings decorated with heavy bracketed cornices, wide friezes, corbelling, elaborate lintels and arched windows. A majority of the buildings in the district have cornices and lintels formed by corbelled brick, but some possess iron cornices, lintels and sills manufactured at the Ontario Iron Works in Pulaski. In places the regularity of the streetscape is interrupted by highly decorative round-arched friezes and cornices topped with finials. Many of the commercial buildings on Jefferson Street retain their original storefronts.

Two of the structures in the district which were built after the fire were designed by the prominent regional architect, Archimedes Russell. Russell practiced in the central New York area from 1862 until 1915. The Kallet movie theater is compatible in scale with the historic district and was designed by Milo Folley of the Syracuse architectural firm of Sargent, Webster, Crenshaw, and Folley. The polychromatic facade of pastel-colored Carrara glass placed in a geometric pattern is characteristic of the Art Deco style. Although the auditorium has been divided in two, the original storefronts on the building remain intact.

The Pulaski Village Historic District is architecturally and historically significant as one of the most intact collections of nine-teenth and early twentieth century residential and commercial buildings in northern New York. Today, Pulaski continues to serve as the commercial hub for the surrounding farm area. The salmon industry is reviving and the village is seeking to attract tourists to the community. There is a high degree of pride among the people of Pulaski and an awareness of the architectural heritage which survives in their historic district.

The Rear of the Former Gould Hotel – Viewed from Mynderse Street, Seneca Falls, New York

nobody@ipernity.com (Jonathan Cohen) — Wed, 02 Oct 2013 15:52:13 +0000

The Gould Hotel opened in February 1920 on the site of the Hoag House which had burned on Thanksgiving morning, 1918. That fire had been discovered in the basement and by noon the building had been a total loss and nearly all of the equipment in the hotel had been destroyed.

This new Gould Hotel was described in the Syracuse Journal as "the most complete and perfectly equipped of the smaller hotels of New York State. Four stories in height, absolutely fireproof in construction and equipped in perfect taste and convenience, it is scheduled to become the mecca for travelers and autoists between Rochester and Syracuse." A postcard from the time describes it as "the gateway to the beautiful Finger Lakes region."

The plans provided for a building of four floors, with a main entrance on State Street. Stores would be located on the Fall Street side of the building. The new hotel building was of concrete and steel construction throughout. The door and window sills and the picture moldings were the only things of the building itself that could burn. In addition to the large lobby, the double dining rooms and a well arranged kitchen, the hotel itself had 72 rooms and 8 apartments. Fifty of the rooms were equipped with baths, including hot and cold water, and telephone connections. The guest rooms had a mahogany dresser, desk, straight and rocker chairs, and portable and fixed lamps. The Simmons’ bed had fine hair mattresses.

The dining rooms were so arranged that they could be one big room for banquets or separate so that one could be used as a ball room and the other for dining. The dining room décor was colonial in style, with the walls painted café au lait and ivory white ceilings and Windsor mahogany chairs and tables.

The lobby had a Spanish style appearance, with the furniture covered with heavy morocco leather. Heavy rugs covered the lobby floor, with table and floor lamps adding a quiet but luxurious feeling. The walls were finished in imitation Caen Stone and velour drapes.

The Gould Hotel eventually closed and the building was turned into apartments. It subsequently sat vacant for quite some time before reopening as the Hotel Clarence.
