Sad, but perhaps inevitable: "...during the hotel’s fading and final years, before the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation acquired it and burned it to the ground in 1963 after years of ruin." I still remember the nearby Lake Minnewaska House that suffered a similar fate in 1986.
