| Description |
Interior view of the office of the Grand Union Hotel in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. showing two employees at the front desk. An
African American man, attired in a suit, stands and leans his left elbow on the desk. A white man, attired in a suit, stands
behind the desk with a large book opened in front of him. Architectural details of the large space include columns draped
in flower garlands, a tiled floor, and a large clock hanging above the desk. Built originally as Gideon Putnam's tavern and
boarding house in 1802, the hotel formed through many expansions and additions. The name of the hotel as it appears on the
stereograph was adopted in 1869. Demolished 1852-1853.
