The story
The Glens Falls Chamber of Commerce proposed a hotel in 1916, and in March 1924 about 100 local leaders organized the Glens Falls Hotel Corporation to build it as both a tourist hotel and a community center. It opened on May 7, 1926 with more than 200 rooms and added 56 rooms in 1929. Guests have included Louis Armstrong, Bob Dylan, Jackie Robinson and Ronald Reagan, and Robert F. Kennedy held a luncheon here the day after winning his 1964 Senate race.
