Albany-Latham,
New York
611 Troy-Schenectady
Rd |
|
Also called Schenectady-Troy,
the Motor Lodge opened in about 1963, and its adjacent Restaurant
opened several years earlier. In early 1970 a Red Coach
Grill opened nearby completing the package. |

The side of the guest
building facing the Gate Lodge featured exterior doors rather
than sliders while the other side had standard sliders. Perhaps
a bit garish by today's standards, the room seen above was well
appointed for its day! |

Not exactly a warm weather
spot, Latham's exterior pool couldn't have had very many months
of usefulness. |

By the time of Jack's
2004 visit, the property had been greatly altered. Apparently
only a shell of the guest buildings was retained. It's hardly
recognizable as a Clarion and Bennigan's. Both the Gate Lodge
and Restaurant were demolished in the 1990s.
Glenn Wells has a couple
of pictures on his Site that were taken not long before the wholesale
alterations took place: http://www.roadsidefans.com/hojo.html
