This one has *everything* – waterfalls, fires, diamond stick pins, trans-oceanic gambling! A landmark hotel opened by an African-American caterer! And, to my great surprise, the discovery of what I believe are remnants of the last version of this long-lost resort. Today I'm telling the story of The Cataract House at Cohoes Falls. Find the full story at the link:

There is just very little that's better than a winter hike. Back in our old home stomping grounds for a weekend. #hike #hiking #winter #UpstateNY #TroyNY #PeeblesIsland #Cohoes #CohoesNY #trail #trails

Detail of the center section of Harmony Mill #3, Cohoes, New York. September 1991. Scanned from a 35mm Kodachrome slide.
Known as the "Mastodon Mill" for the mastodon skeleton unearthed during construction. The Harmony Mills complex was the largest textile mill in the world when it opened in 1872.
