The brick block began as a glove store tied to local manufacturing, and the 1881 enlargement turned the building into a hotel serving tourists heading to the Adirondack region. The interior survives with a high degree of integrity to the late 19th century.","narrative":"Hotel Broadalbin occupies 59 West Main Street at the western edge of the village's commercial core in Fulton County, New York. It combines two blocks: a two-story brick building of 1854 and a two-story frame wing of 1881, joined by a two-story verandah added when the whole became a hotel. The brick block was built by glove makers James Louis Northrup and J. N. Richards as a store for their gloves and mittens. The 1881 enlargement served tourists visiting Fulton County, a gateway to the Adirondacks. Later the building housed a Keeley Institute alcohol-cure franchise, reopened in 1904 as the Kennyetto Hotel, and took the name Hotel Broadalbin in 1924 under Steven Kross. His widow ran it until 1968. Inside, a grand staircase, a 31-foot bar with a beveled mirror, pressed tin ceilings and nearly intact upstairs corridors and rooms survive. Today it holds a restaurant and single-room-occupancy housing.","period_of_significance":"1854 - 1968","architect_builder":"unknown","architectural_style":"No Style","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Currently used as a restaurant and as single-room-occupancy housing in the upper-floor hotel rooms.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:48.837677-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/11000252.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/11000252/d76182a31d-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/11000252/d76182a31d-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 2.0","author":"Doug Kerr from Albany, New York, United States","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hotel_Broadalbin_Jun_10.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Doug Kerr from Albany, New York, United States</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 2.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hotel_Broadalbin_Jun_10.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75317861","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotel_Broadalbin","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5911291"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/fulton-county/hotel-broadalbin-11000252/"}
