Grossinger abandoned resort 1/3

Premier batiment du resort Grossinger hotel abandonné, le plus haut. Seulement des chambres. Beaucoup de chambres./ The tallest building of the grossingers resort, abandoned luxuous hotel Many, many rooms

Asher Selig Grossinger moved from New York City to Ferndale in Sullivan County in the Catskill Mountains in the 1900s. There he rented rooms to visitors from New York City. His wife, Malke, operated the kosher kitchen, and Jennie Grossinger (1891-1972), his daughter, was the hostess.[1] They called their home Longbrook House. In 1919, they sold it and purchased a bigger house on 100 acres (0.40 km2), calling it Grossinger's Terrace Hill House.

In 1952, Grossinger's earned a place in the history of skiing as the first resort in the world to use artificial snow.[2] By the time Jennie died in 1972, the hotel had grown to 35 buildings on 1,200 acres (4.9 km2) that served 150,000 guests a year. It had its own airstrip and post office. During his fighting days Rocky Marciano would train at the resort. But in the late 1970s and 1980s, resorts like Grossinger's or the Concord could no longer attract younger guests. Grossinger's closed in 1986,[3] but the golf course is still open as of 2011.[4] Louis Cappelli once planned to open a "luxury boutique hotel" on the property, with 200 rooms, a spa, and various other amenities.[5] It seems that now, after years of waiting, it may finally happen. He has said that the first phase will be to complete renovations on The Concord Resort Hotel, which began in mid 2008, then Grossinger's would follow.


Asher Selig Grossinger moved from New York City to Ferndale in Sullivan County in the Catskill Mountains in the 1900s. Asher was born in Baligrod, a small village in Galicia, Austria. His business ventures failed and he was in poor health, so he rented rooms to visitors from New York City. His wife, Malke, operated the kosher kitchen, and Jennie Grossinger (1891-1972), his daughter, was the hostess.[1] They called their home Longbrook House. In 1919, they sold it and purchased a bigger house on 100 acres (0.40 km2), calling it Grossinger's Terrace Hill House.

to think it's been abandoned since 1986. free of security since 1992, Internet is what killed a lot of these places. Punk kids destroying them places.
