1915 – 2015 Hulett Hotel Fire Anniversary: New Picture in Casino


2015 marks the 100th anniversary of the Hulett Hotel fire, which I chronicled in my book, the Hulett Hotel Fire on Lake George.

To commemorate the anniversary, today I hung a picture of what “Skip’s Shack” or the “Caddy Shack” would have looked like from 1915-1935, at the end of the bar in the Casino. This picture was in my first book, and I thought it captures the spirit of that age. After fighting with glue and tape and the dimensions of the existing frame, it is finally up.

So it’s worth a stop at the Casino this summer to see how folks played golf about a century ago. Notice that the grass is a little higher than today. (Click image to see full-scale.)
