of Old Saratoga Springs

Congress Spring

This is an image of the famed Congress Spring, the way it looked in 1877. In the 1800s our mineral springs were privately owned, and their architecture and appearance was at the discretion of the owner. This ornate version was designed for the country’s Centennial Year of 1876.

Pavilion Hotel

One of the very early hotels in Saratoga Springs, the Pavilion was located on the northeast corner of Broadway and Lake Avenue. The hotel was razed years ago and is the site of the present-day City Hall.

The Adelphi Hotel

The Adelphi Hotel was built in the later part of the 1800s. Although it was not one of the four largest hotels in the city, it has survived the years and was renovated a few years ago, becoming a beautiful destination in the city.
